i picked up this book by mistake... i thought it was a new book by amitav ghosh, i am quite fond of his writing. almost thought of returning it... but thank god i did not! i still have a few pages left in the book, but its quite nice. very lucidly written... though doesnt have much of a story, but the events it describes are very heartfelt. its about life in patna... all that goes on with the politics and social life there, the hypocrisy, the psuedo-modernism of the characters. a lot of people will be able to relate to the protagonist, those who come from small towns and then settle in the city. pick it up... it will not dissappoint you!
