One death, long ago, stains the innocence of the present with the pus of ancient corruption. It is a search for truth, rather than revenge, that drives the story, but it proves to be a truth that brings no release.India is evoked with astonishing richness and depth, while remaing a backdrop for the characters, who are vivid and rounded, but always with more to reveal as the dream draws them on.I read this book some months ago, but it haunts me still.
