Description
In a village just outside modern-day Calcutta, a young girl sends a baby floating down a sacred river towards an unknown destiny. Over the years, the river, the golden chain found around his neck, and the hand of fate will link the life of Baby Karna to that of a host of other characters: his teenage mother, Koonty; his half-brother and rival, Arjuna; his destitute foster mother, Dolly; as well as ruthless thugs, politicians, pariahs and film stars. In this enchanting novel, which dips luxuriously into the richness of Indian myth and Hindu legend, Sara Banerji thrills us with the twists and turns of Karna’s life. Full of tragedy, surprises and strange coincidences, it takes us on an exhilarating ride from the Calcutta underworld, to Bollywood, u into the Himalayas and culminates – as the brothers’ fight for fame and fortune reaches the points of no return – in a race to the death which only can win. Sara Banerji was born in England but lived in India for many years where she ran a dairy farm. She now lives in Oxford where she teaches creative writing.
