Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Described as a masterpiece by critics, this remarkable book tells the story of war through the lives and deaths of a single family. Absolutely unforgettable new writing. If you loved The English Patient or Rohinton Mistrys Fine Balance or Katherine Boos Behind the Beautiful Forevers, you will love this book. Three young men gazed at him from silver-framed photographs in his grandmothers house, beheld but not noticed, as angels are in a frieze full of mortal strugglers. They had all been in the Second World War, a fact that surprised him. Indians had never figured in his idea of the war, nor the war in his idea of India and he thought that he had a good idea of both. One of them, Bobby, even looked a bit like him, but Raghu Karnad had not noticed until he was the same age as they were in their photo-frames. Then he learned about the Parsi boy from the sleepy south Indian coast, so eager to follow his brothers-in-law into the colonial forces and onto the front line. Manek, dashing and confident, was a pilot with Indias fledgling air force; gentle Ganny became an army doctor in the arid North-West Frontier. Bobbys pursuit would carry him as far as the deserts of Iraq and the green hell of the Burma battlefront. The years 1939-45 might be the most revered, deplored and replayed in modern history. Yet Indias extraordinary role has been concealed, from itself and from the world. In riveting prose, Karnad retrieves the story of a single family a story of love, rebellion, loyalty and uncertainty and with it, the greatest revelation that is Indias Second World War. Farthest Field narrates the lost epic of Indias war, in which the largest volunteer army in history fought for the British Empire, even as its countrymen fought to be free of it. It carries us from Madras to Peshawar, Egypt to Burma unfolding the saga of a young family amazed by their swiftly changing world and swept up in its violence.
