TIMES BOOK PRIZE IN FICTION\n\n“A modern classic.” —The New York Times Book Review\n\nA young man's close-knit family is nearly destitute when his uncle founds a successful spice company, changing their fortunes overnight. As they move from a cramped, ant-infested shack to a larger house on the other side of Bangalore, and try to adjust to a new way of life, the family dynamic begins to shift. Allegiances realign; marriages are arranged and begin to falter; and conflict brews ominously in the background. Things become “ghachar ghochar”—a nonsense phrase uttered by one meaning something tangled beyond repair, a knot that can't be untied.\n\nElegantly written and punctuated by moments of unexpected warmth and humor, Ghachar Ghochar is a quietly enthralling, deeply unsettling novel about the shifting meanings—and consequences—of financial gain in contemporary India.\n\n“A classic tale of wealth and moral ruin.” —The New Yorker\n\n“Ghachar Ghochar introduces us to a master.” —The Paris Review\n\nNamed a Best Book of the Year by the Guardian, Globe and Mail, and Publishers Weekly\nShortlisted for the ALTA National Translation Award in Prose\nLonglisted for the International Dublin Literary Award\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 014311168X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.014311168X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Shanbhag, Vivek|Perur, Srinath\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
