New York: Harper Collins, 1993. First printing. As New/as new. A masterpiece that succeeds in conjuring up all of 1950s provincial India through the interaction of four families. The female Hindu falls for the male Muslim and every type and condition of their complex society is swept into a tragi-comic dance around the young couple. Seth, who until this had written poetry, has created an extraordinarily complex, old-fashioned and yet accessible work.

Both men constructed a tangled self-image and life-style, "noted for outbursts of elaborate expenditure alternating with extreme aestheticism", but Symons, who was dead at 41, has written one of the great literary detective works of all time, now a rare book in itself. Jacket has some dirt and edge chipping, particularly to top of spine.
