Product Description

Product Description

A sequence of delicate, tragic stories by the bestselling author of Raj evokes the profound presence of tradition and desire. A retired bureaucrat has escaped the world to spend his twilight years running a guest-house on the banks of the country's holiest river, the Narmada. But he has chosen the wrong place for peace and quiet: too many lives converge here and he meets a series of unusual characters including a privileged young executive bewitched by a mysterious lover; a neophyte Jain monk moving from opulence to poverty; and an intense ascetic who resurfaces in a surprising reincarnation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written, one of my favourite books, 6 Oct 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A River Sutra (Paperback)
Exquisitely written, this book tells a different story in each chapter, capturing the many cultures living together in India. This is a wonderful book, providing an insight into a whole host of religions, beliefs and myths, woven into very readable stories about human lives. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime, 16 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A River Sutra (Paperback)
Simply wonderful. I seldom read books more than once, but I've come back to this one so many times. Beautifully written with such touching stories. I bought a copy of this for each one of my friends' birthdays.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful dreamy book, 21 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A River Sutra (Paperback)
Like the river on which the book sits, the tales within flow beautifully and take you to places that you only ever see in dreams. I loved this book - an all time favourite.

An interesting story, in an Arabian-story-telling-kind-of way. Setting is the beautiful Narmada valley. Read more
