You know you have struck gold from the first paragraph of this exquisite novel. Roy's fertile imagination and sensual, poetic writing style weave colour, smells, sounds and voices into the backdrop of this sometimes beautiful, sometimes agonizing, and always compelling family story. Here is a book that lives up to its lushly appealing lotus-leaved cover.
