Awesome Book !!!!!! I had the chance to read this book on my recent visit to India when one of my friends recommended it.
I have lived in Andhra Pradesh for 23 years. This book gave me an insight into so many customs and traditions. Very interesting read. The author has given a lot of thought and has researched into many nuances and details of Andhra culture.
This book is truly a gem. The book is a petal to Indian literature lotus.
A must read for anyone interested about Indian culture.

Lines in the first paragraph pull you into a story that never follows a straight line: “The pretender to the Emperor’s throne was a fat thirty-seven year old Chinaman called Artie Wu who always jogged along Malibu beach right after dawn even in the summer. It was while jogging along the beach just east of the Paradise Cove Pier that Artie Wu tripped over a dead pelican, fell and met the man with six greyhounds.” This book is about the ultimate con. You’re never sure until the very end who is actually being conned and why.
This is a character driven story and there are is an amazing list of characters from Otherguy Overby, to the folk singing trio of Ivory, Lace and Silk, though a former CIA agent who’s gone out on his own, to big time record producer and the head of a criminal syndicate.

A tragically beautiful mixture of musical theater and cinematography. Bjork stars as a factory worker fighting a losing battle to save her son’s vision. And she sings, too!
