Review

“This tale of familial bonds, societal unrest, and power obtained both legitimately and via violence is told tersely, often through rapid-fire dialogue. At times, the politically charged 1970s setting and focus on underworld activities parallels David Peace’s work. And the staccato rhythms of violence evoked by Devi’s prose in Sinha’s translation are often haunting.” - Words Without Borders
