bookshelves: contemporary-fiction, middle-east-theme-setting, south-asia-theme-setting
This utterly rocked. It's epic crime fiction story set in the epic city of Bombay, weaving in the Indian mafia, Bollywood, Eastern philosophy, the class of ancient India and a thoroughly modern society, love, lust, loss. Yet its protagonist and reluctant hero, Sikh policeman Sartaj Singh is down-to-earth, an ambivalent but ultimately honest cop swimming against the flood of corruption and temptation in a city he loves. This is a 900 page undertaking but it moves with a terrific storyline and fast-paced action.

Well, darn it, Julie, I try to stay away from the 900-page books, but I am so enjoying Chandra's Red Earth and Pouring Rain, you've convinced me I should put this on my "maybe" list at least, with an eye toward promoting it to TBR at some point in the future, when I'm feeling ambitious or need some more Chandra. Why aren't more people reading this guy?

I'd forgotten all about this book (and this author, how awful!). But if you are loving Red Earth and Pouring Rain, I'm checking it out. Thank you!
