Another winner from the International Booker winning author. Kudos also to the translator Daisy Rockwell.

The story tells of a seminal event in India's religious, political and social history that changed the people and the social fabric forever. Even though the book is much older, the new translation shows how a lot of this story is still relevant in contemporary India.

Geetanjali Shree does a fantastic job in writing this book, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall feel of this. I thought the translation worked well and felt like it kept the message. I was engaged with the characters and how everything worked in this universe.
