A Bollywood film star and a British-Indian voice actor find their fates entwined when their shared flight from Bombay to London explodes, sending them hurtling toward England as fallen angels. They awaken transformed, struggling to separate the world of dreams from reality and confronting their closest-held beliefs. A fantastical saga across time and space ensues, and Rushdie uses this comic, epic tome to explore identity, migration, and  metamorphosis.
