Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Location DD. First U.S. Edition. Hardcover. 297pp. Blue boards, Fine in a Fine dust jacket. Received the Betty Trask Award for first novel in the United Kingdom. Set in colonial India, "The Last Song Of Dusk" follows the fortunes of Anuradha, whose fabled beauty is such that the peacocks of Udaipur gather to bid her farewell as she journeys to meet her groom, Vardhmaan, in Bombay. Anuradha's bittersweet story intertwines with that of her cousin Nandini-a seductive orphan with a dark heart, a penchant for panthers and an extraordinary gift for painting-and with the secret history and slow-burning revenge of a house. Written in Technicolour, Bollywood prose, this is a magical piece of storytelling, a novel that pirouettes between laughter and heartbreak, which will appeal to all fans of Joanne Harris, Isabel Allende and Arundhati Roy.

Seller's Description:
Good. Good condition. Good dust jacket. A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains.
A good first novel try, Siddharth Shanghvi tries a bit too hard to impress us with his vocabulary. The word pictures he draws are sometimes more distracting than they are informative. He also mixes colloquialisms from so many eras that the reader has to guess whether a particular line has a hidden meaning or Shanghvi was momentarily struck by a phrase he saw in an old movie.
Shanghvi's first effort requires some effort to get through. Hopefully, his next one will be a cleaner, easier read.
