В отличие от «Белого тигра» и «Последнего человека в башне», этот новый роман неуклюже написан, как будто торопились. Много недочетов. Иногда она ассоциировалась, как история Каина против Авеля, а потом просто как история мальчика, сопротивляющегося своей гомосексуальности. Освобождение человека в современном Бомбее — захватывающий подтекст, но концовка его проигрышна.
Сама книга с темными листами, явно 1200 за неё очень дорого. Я брала по скидке на распродаже. 400р ещё более менее
