Plot

Set in post-colonial India in the early 1950s, a rich family saga from the author of The Golden Gate. Seth blends the intimate lives of the characters with the greater events of their time--when varied cultures clash, estates are apropriated by land reform, hunger besets the peasantry, and political power will be transformed via an election involving a sixth of the world's people.
