Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. 'Beautifully written'DAILY MAIL'Heady, sensually described, deeply felt'GUARDIAN'A maximalist epic that grabs you by the collar'THE STATESMAN'Riotously audacious and entertaining cinematic, jazzlike, a humdinger of a novel' KAMILA SHAMSIEA humane and atmospheric love letter to a vibrant and irrepressible cityDAILY MAILI cant remember the last time I read a book as grand as Ruchir Joshis Great Eastern Hotel the city in this novel is a living thing' THE TELEGRAPH INDIAAugust 1941. The world is at war. At the Great Eastern, Calcuttas most luxurious hotel, amidst the feasting, dancing and laughter, we witness the metropolis in the last moments before disaster strikes.On the day the revered poet Rabindranath Tagore dies, the city comes to a standstill. Thousands of people line the streets to pay their respects. Amongst them are: Nirupama, a history student and Communist Party volunteer; Imogen, the English daughter of a Raj official; Kedar, an aspiring painter; and Gopal, a young pickpocket who finds himself promoted into a dark, dangerous world.The lives of these four people intertwine with those at the hotel: an American soldier who plays jazz at the nightclub; a genius French chef; an heiress fleeing from the nightmare in Europe; and a group of military officers running a secret intelligence operation.Magisterial in scope, rich in detail and gloriously entertaining, Great Eastern Hotel brings to life India on the brink of independence. An epic tale of belonging, love, art and how individual lives can become swept up in the tides of history.'Joshis ability to render place and time is truly first-rate.
