Shalimar the Clown by Salman Rushdie
5.0
I've had mixed results with Rushdie's novels. Some I love (Midnight's Children), some I admire (Satanic Verses), and some just don't connect for me (The Moor's Last Sigh). This one was right up there with Midnight's Children.
Complex, compelling characters, a storyline that sees them destined to intertwine without being apparent how it will turn out, all built on the foundation of telling the tale of a place, here Kashmir. I savored this one.
