Description
Set in contemporary India, The Romantics tells the story of Samar, a young man who goes to live in Benares to avoid a small-town job and to lose himself in reading and a world beyond himself. But soon the realities of the bustling holy city begin to intrude as Samar is introduced to a world of Europeans, of modern India and of disappointed love. `If you buy one literary novel this year, make sure it's this' Amanda Craig, The Times, Summer Books `This bright new star is the real thing' David Robson, Sunday Telegraph
