Opening in Calcutta in the 1960s, Ghosh's radiant second novel follows two families. one English, one Bengali, as their lives intertwine in tragic and comic ways. The narrator, Indian-born and English educated, traces events back and forth in time, through years of Bengali partition and violence, observing the ways in which political events invade private lives.
