This is an amazing story with three main characters. As the story progresses, the reader tries to guess what the ultimate relationships will be between the various person, but would never guess how the story actually turns out. It takes place in Guyana, India, and London, ranging from the time period of World War II through the 1970s. It is an absorbing story that you will not want to put down.
