Set in Mumbai, India between 1947 and 1977 during the turmoil of The Emergency, a period of expanded government power and crackdowns on civil liberties, this book is about four characters from varied backgrounds?Dina Dalal, Ishvar Darji, his nephew Omprakash Darji and the young student Maneck Kohlah?who come together and develop a bond.

It's brilliant.
