As night falls in Delhi a mother spins tales from her past
for her sleeping daughter. Her now grown-up child is a
puzzle with a million pieces whom she hopes, through her
words and her love, to somehow make whole
again.
Meanwhile, as the last train from Rajiv Chowk
Station pulls away, a young man rides the metro and dreams
of murder.
In another corner of the city, a newborn
wrapped in a blood-red towel lies on the steps of an
orphanage as his mother walks away.
There are twenty
million bodies in this city and this woman, man and child
are only three. But their stories – of a secret love that
blossoms in the shadows of grief, of a corrosive guilt that
taints the soul, and of an orphaned boy who maps out his own
destiny – weave in and out of the lives of those around
them to form a dazzling kaleidoscope of a
novel.
Beautiful, beguiling and audacious, this is
the story of a city and its people, of love and horror, of
belonging and forgiveness: a powerful and unforgettable tale
of modern India.
