A warning - those who have some familiarity with India may find this book's style VERY irritating. I dropped it after a lengthy conversation early in the book between a group of Farsis explaining how each of them got their "wala" surnames. REALLY clunky exposition and insulting both to the readers and the characters, it simply would not happen.
