Description:
The House of Blue Mangoes tells the story of the Dorai family in south India during a time of tremendous political and social upheaval. The novel opens in 1899 with the patriarch Solomon Dorai -- the headman of the picturesque village of Chevathar -- contemplating the imminent destruction of his world and everything he holds dear. The decisions he makes to avert the catastrophe that threatens the village will mark the family for generations to come.
Expand description
Sophisticated, filled with brilliant historical and emotional insight, enlivened by touches of humor and deeply felt tragedy that draw on the author's own family history, The House of Blue Mangoes is a gripping family chronicle, a stark indictment of colonialism, and a stunning account of a culture under assault by modernity.
