What We Say: “Mistry’s talent lies in creating characters you think you know. Delving into their past to explain their present, he addresses how caste, social expectation and political corruption in India shape the fortunes of his four central characters” – Maria Padget
What They Say: “A towering masterpiece by a writer of genius” – Independent India
