Synopsis:

Kiran Desai casts an incisive, mournful eye on post-colonialism and the vast gulf between economic classes in her second novel. In the 1980s, a Nepalese uprising threatens a reclusive, Cambridge-educated Indian judge living in the Himalayan foothills; his orphaned teenage granddaughter (who loves one of the Nepalese insurgents); and their miserable, put-upon cook, whose only reason for living, his son, suffers both loneliness and privation as an illegal immigrant in New York.
