"Still a cut above the rest, but somehow lacking."

Review by Michael on 28th October, 2014

Purchased on Mighty Ape

I love Salman Rushdie's writing so very much, but for some reason this particular piece is hard for me to get in to. I'm still trying to read it now.

Wouldn't recommend it to someone wanting to get a feel for Salman Rushdie's works, but definitely going to give it my time.

Description

'India has produced a great novelist...a master of perpetual storytelling' V.S. Pritchett, New Yorker 'Salman Rushdie's greatest novel' Sunday Times Moraes 'Moor' Zogoiby is the last in line of a crooked and fantastical dynasty of spice merchants and crime lords from Cochin. He is also a compulsive storyteller and an exile. As we travel with him on a route that takes him from India to Spain, he spins his labyrinthine family tale of mad passions and volcanic family hatreds, of titanic matriarchs and their mesmerised offspring, of premature deaths and curses that strike beyond the grave. But does the India of his parents - populated by extravagant artists, piratical gatekeepers and mysterious lost paintings - still exist? And will he ever discover what became of his fiery and tempestuous mother? Moraes' epic quest to uncover the truth of the past is a love story to a vanishing world, and also its last hurrah. **One of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**
