      About This Book

      On bail for charges of suspected terrorism, Saleem decides he must travel back to Pakistan to visit his ailing mother. It is not a trip home, exactly, because 'home' is a hard concept for a man who was exiled as a boy into 'this bitch of a country called England'. Saleem's story moves between high comedy and tragedy, taking in a host of characters, some living by the old traditions, others emancipated and radical. Lives separated by continents and cultures, however, remain intricately linked.
