Synopsis
At the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, lives an embittered old judge who wants nothing more than to retire in peace. But with the arrival of his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, and his cook's son trying to stay a step ahead of US immigration services, this is far from easy.
When a Nepalese insurgency threatens Sai's blossoming romance with her handsome tutor they are forced to consider their colliding interests. The judge must revisit his past, his own journey and his role in this grasping world of conflicting desires - every moment holding out the possibility for hope or betrayal.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. In the north-eastern Himalayas, in a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga there lives a cantankerous old judge who wants nothing more thanto retire in peace. But when his orphaned granddaughter Sai arrives on his doorstep and the son of his chatty cook, Biju, trying to make his way in the USA, hopscotching from one New York restaurant job to another, trying to stay a step ahead of the immigration services, this is never easy. When a Nepalese insurgency threatens Sai's new-sprung romance with her handsome Nepali tutor and causes their lives to descend into chaos, they, too, are forced to confront their colliding interests. The nation fights itself. The cook witnesses the hierarchy being overturned and discarded. The judge must revisit his past, his own role in this grasping world of conflicting desires, every moment holding out the possibility for hope or betrayal. 324 pages. N° de réf. du vendeur 1587469

Paperback. In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas lives an embittered judge who wants only to retire in peace, when his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, arrives on his doorstep. The judge’s cook watches over her distractedly, for his thoughts are often on his son, Biju, who is hopscotching from one gritty New York restaurant to another. Kiran Desai’s brilliant novel, published to huge acclaim, is a story of joy and despair. Her characters face numerous choices that majestically illuminate the consequences of colonialism as it collides with the modern world. 2006. A trade paperback copy in near fine condition. Only marked by light age tanning to the top edge and mild sunfading to the spine. 2.7 Centimeters X 15.4 Centimeters X 23.4 Centimeters. N° de réf. du vendeur 12002974
