Omtale
Such a Long Journey is set in (what was then) Bombay against the backdrop of war in the Indian subcontinent and the birth of Bangladesh, telling the story of the peculiar way in which the conflict impinges on the lives of Gustad Noble, an ordinary man, and his family. It was the brilliant first novel by one of the most remarkable writers to have emerged from the Indian literary tradition in many years. It was shortlisted for the 1991 Booker Prize, and won the 1992 Commonwealth Writers Prize.
Betegnelse: I denne romanen gir forfatteren et nærportrett av det indiske samfunn og storbyen Bombay i 1971, året før Bangladesh ble opprettet. En familiefar blir innblandet i hemmelige politiske transaksjoner uten å forstå rekkevidden og konsekvensene.
