An extraordinary story written in poignant details. The way Dina clutched at her quilt patched up with checkered swatches each representing an event if her painstaking journey to her short-lived freedom, how Om and Ishvar, the uncle and cousin duo were reduced to paupers, and how Maneck's world went crushing down when he faced the harshest truths about suicides of his erstwhile roommate's sisters, the tailors'(read Om and Ishvar) reversal of Fortune thanks to their eternal ties with suffering and misfortune, pushing him on the brink of suicide will tug at your heart strings. Mistry is bound to prevail upon you long after you have finished this starkly beautiful novel. Happy reading.

Indeed a Grisham of banking. This book is unputdowable. Takes you on a whirlwind tour across the globe as the onion plot peels off layer after layer. Go for it.
