The novel follows Hugo Baumgartner as he flees Nazi Germany -- and his Jewish heritage -- for India, only to be imprisoned as a hostile alien and then released to Bombay at war's end. In this tale of a man who, \"like a figure in a Greek tragedy . . . seems to elude his destiny\" (NEW LEADER), Desai's \"capacious intelligence, her unsentimental compassion\" (NEW REPUBLIC) reach their full height.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\"Beautifully written, richly textured . . .
