Our take
AI-draftedGuha's second novel sets sibling rivalry against Delhi's smog-choked, status-obsessed present, and the two registers rarely fight each other for space the way they might have in lesser hands. Critics have zeroed in on the novel's eye for the city itself as the book's real engine, more than the inheritance plot nominally driving it. The prose is dense and unhurried, which some readers found immersive and others found sluggish going.

“Guha confidently sets family politics against the backdrop of burgeoning nationalism in Delhi”
