“Vintage Rushdie, in a sprawling story ripped from today’s—and, undoubtedly, tomorrow’s—
headlines. . . . A presumably political assassination that’s in fact deeply ‘personal,’
the separate histories of the disputed territories of Strasbourg and Kashmir, and the
classical Indian epic Ramayana are all ingeniously conflated and reimagined
in Rushdie’s dazzling ninth novel. . . . Unforgettably dramatized, in
a magical-realist masterpiece that equals, and arguably surpasses,
the achievements of Midnight's Children, Shame and
The Moor's Last Sigh.”—Kirkus Reviews
