Ann Harleman,The Boston Globe "One of the most impressive novels in English of the past year, and I predict you'll read it…with your heart in your chest, inside the narrative, and the narrative inside you." Alan Cheuse,Chicago Tribune "[An] extraordinary new novel…lit by a moral intelligence at once fierce and tender." Pankaj Mishra, front-cover review inThe New York Times Book Review "If God is in the details, Ms. Desai has written a holy book.

Her characters face numerous choices that majestically illuminate the consequences of colonialism as it collides with the modern world., Kiran Desai's first novel, "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard," was published to unanimous acclaim in over twenty-two countries.

In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga lives an embittered old judge who wants to retire in peace when his orphaned granddaughter Sai arrives on his doorstep. The judge's chatty cook watches over her, but his thoughts are mostly with his son, Biju, hopscotching from one New York restaurant job to another, trying to stay a step ahead of the INS, forced to consider his country's place in the world. When a Nepalese insurgency in the mountains threatens Sai's new-sprung romance with her handsome Nepali tutor and causes their lives to descend into chaos, they, too, are forced to confront their colliding interests. The nation fights itself. The cook witnesses the hierarchy being overturned and discarded.
