Résumé

When die dazzlingly beautiful Anuradha boards a train for Bombay to marry a man she has never met, peacocks appear to serenade her. But this dramatic departure is only a prelude to an exciting future. Sure enough, across her path comes a host of colourful characters: Diva bai, her malicious mother-in-law who is rumoured to have fed her sister to crocodiles; Mr Bunkusdaas, the father of Bollywood; Percival Worthington, the aristocratically limp son of the governor of Bombay; and Nandini, the panther-loving painter who walks on water.
Together they conjure a world of betrayed love, of dangerous desires and unfathomable sorrow, creating a melody that will haunt you long after the tale is done.
