What a book! What a read! What a complex, tantalizing unforgettable story! What is it about India that grips us so? Lacey Fosburgh has written an American Jewel in the Crown or possibly A Passage to India-how the deep continental forces of this land touch and twist, destroy or sometimes salvage Americans. It is just so damn good it bowls me over. Cheers for her. I know she has a winner.
-Harrison E Salisbury
This is a wonderful novel-full of surprises, textured and richly drawn characters on a fascinating stage, and a story that keeps you guessing until the very end. With sensitivity and a reporter’s eye for detail, Lacey Fosburgh has skillfully penetrated a world few American writers have explored. This a significant piece of fiction.
-Robert Lindsey
This hypnotic, gifted novel will make you think of Jewel in the Crown and A Passage to India-not because it is in any way imitative but because it is of that quality. Lacey Fosburgh has take on that most daunting of challenges for a western writer-to write convincingly of the east-and she is dazzling. She clearly grasps India, and the viscera of human alliances. This is a novel of large scope and consequence and a wonderful one.
