The Satanic Verses is a wonderfully erudite study of the evil and good entwined within the hearts of women and men, an epic journey of tears and laughter, served up by a writer at the height of his powers.

Just before dawn one winter's morning, a hijacked jetliner
explodes above the English Channel. Through the falling
debris, two men -- Gibreel Farishta, the biggest movie star
in India, and Saladin Chamcha, an expatriate returning from
his first visit to Bombay in fifteen years -- plummet from
the sky. Washing up on the snow-covered sands of an English
beach, they proceed through a series of metamorphoses,
dreams and revelations.
