Longlisted per il DSC Prize for South Asian Literature Cosa succede quando cerchiamo di barattare la vita che ci è stata data per qualcosa di meglio? Cinque persone, in circostanze molto diverse, da un cuoco domestico a Mumbai, a un vagabondo e al suo orso danzante, e una ragazza che fugge dal terrore nel suo villaggio natale per una nuova vita in città, scoprono il significato dello spostamento e il desiderio di qualcosa di più. Ambientato nell'India contemporanea e muovendosi tra la realtà di questo mondo e l'ombra di un altro, questo romanzo offre un'esplorazione devastante e inquietante dell'irrefrenabile impulso umano a lottare per una vita diversa.
