IIn the north-eastern Himalayas, at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga, in an isolated and crumbling house, there lives an embittered old judge, who wants nothing more than to retire in peace.

But with the arrival of his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, and the son of his chatty cook trying to stay a step ahead of US immigration services, this is far from easy. When a Nepalese insurgency threatens the blossoming romance between Sai and her handsome tutor, they, too, are forced to consider their colliding interests.

The judge must revisit his past, his own journey and his role in this grasping world of conflicting desires – every moment holding out the possibility for hope or betrayal.

Terrific novel, lit by a moral intelligence at once fierce and tender. Kiran Desai was born in India.
