Reserved from a second hand book sale and saved for Bookcrossing.

The first chapter had me hooked and I wish it had stayed in this vein. Much as I learned a lot from the historical sections these were heavy and would have been better balanced with more of the here and now. The landlady and taxi driver were light relief but I'd have liked more of present day Delhi to counteract the history.

Left outside the Indian Takeaway in Lavant Street.
