Really memorable read. I really enjoyed the book but not as much as God of Small Things. As usual the writing is beautiful and her prose really sets the scene in our minds.

This book is set in the backdrop of the kashmir rebellion and in a way I can say it's like a non fiction written as a fiction.

I read this just after a trip to Delhi and the reading about the places there was a good experience. Like I was so excited when a specific landmark I saw was featured in the story, but meanwhile I also missed not being able to visit some of the other mentioned ones.

Overall I really recommend this book if you have read any books by Roy before. As a first book from her it's always God of Small Things for me.
