In these five haunting stories Vikram Chandra paints a remarkable picture of Bombay\u0083??its ghosts, its passions, its feuds, its mysteries\u0083??while exploring timeless questions of the human spirit.<\/p>\n

The stories are linked by a single narrator, an elusive civil servant, who, on each of five evenings, recounts an extraordinary tale to those seated around him in a smoky Bombay bar. In \u0083??Shakti\u0083??, two feuding business families are united by a forbidden passion; in \u0083??Dharma\u0083??, a soldier forced to save his life through a terrible act of self-mutilation returns to his home in Bombay to find it haunted by the spirit of a small boy; in \u0083??Karma\u0083??, a police inspector takes on a murder case and finds himself drawn further into spiralling layers of corruption and deceit.<\/p>\n

Tightly controlled and luminously written, this outstanding collection confirms Vikram Chandra as one of today\u0083??s most exciting writers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":30637,"parent":0,"template":"","book_type":[6],"book_author":[302],"class_list":["post-53773","book","type-book","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","book_type-fiction","book_author-vikram-chandra"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mybookzone.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book\/53773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mybookzone.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mybookzone.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/book"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mybookzone.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mybookzone.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"book_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mybookzone.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book_type?post=53773"},{"taxonomy":"book_author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mybookzone.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book_author?post=53773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
