a magnificent majestic work of supreme importance5
This is one of the most extraordinary and important books to come out of India this century: as Doris Lessing says: "Reading this book is to be immersed in India, you feel you are living that life, such is the power of this acute stubbornly honest, capaciously minded writer to recreate his times. He is a product of the period when Indians were nourished by English literature, law, thought. The contrast between the vivid details of village and family life and the slow growth towardsthe grandeur of his moral and literary vision provides the tension of these vivid pages. THIS IS ONE OF THE GREAT BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY"
