Story
With a compassionate realism and narrative sweep that recall the work of Charles Dickens, this magnificent novel captures all the cruelty and corruption, dignity and heroism, of India. The time is 1975. The place is an unnamed city by the sea. The government has just declared a State of Emergency, in whose upheavals four strangers - a spirited widow, a young student uprooted from his idyllic hill station, and two tailors who have fled the caste violence of their native village - will be thrust together, forced to share one cramped apartment and an uncertain future.

Story
Nariman bor hos sine to ugifte stedbørn, Coomy og Jal, i den store lejlighed, han købte til dem – mod at de skulle tage sig af ham på hans gamle dage. Arrangementet er nogenlunde tilfredsstillende, selvom Coomy aldrig har tilgivet den gamle mand, at han elskede en anden kvinde end hendes mor. Derfor benytter Coomy, trods broderens protester, enhver tænkelig lejlighed til at gøre livet surt for Nariman.

Story
Tiden er 1975. Stedet er Indien. Premierministeren hedder Indira Gandhi, og situationen i landet er kommet fuldstændig ud af kontrol. På papiret er Indien et demokrati, men millioner af mennesker lever under feudallignende forhold, og de urørlige går over på den anden side af gaden af frygt for, at deres skygge skal falde på en højkastehindu. I denne betændte situation finder fire umage mennesker sammen i et arbejdsfællesskab en lillebitte lejlighed ved havet.
