In the winter of her life, Dharamshila, the keeper of memories of her family of brave Gorkha warriors, tells her grandchildren the story of their ancestors who came from Nepal as conquerors and fought the British in the Khalanga War in Dehradun. As the family makes India its home, the sons embark on their own journeys, each more varied than the other - spanning Japanese prison camps in Singapore, Chindit operations in Burma, the adrenaline rush of football clubs in Calcutta and the arc lights of the film industry in Bombay. Lyrical and intensely felt, this first novel, braiding history with human stories, is full of unexpected twists and turns.
