This is an odd little book. It‘s wonderfully poetic in places but then also a strangely practical study of a Muslim family in pre partition Delhi. The city sparkles in the story even if the plot itself is strangely ambiguous. I enjoyed immensely. (I also enjoyed my unusually luxe surroundings whilst starting it!)
