A review by indyreadrosa
City of Devi by Manil Suri

5.0

This is the first book by this author I have read. Some event has happened. Our characters have to travel across Mumbai as threat of nuclear war looms over everything. We flash back to the before time and while they are traveling until everybody intersects. A gay, Muslim, Indian man who spent a lot of time in the U.S., a gay Hindu man who nonetheless decides to get married and the new wife who only finds out the connection after crossing most of the city.

I know I did not pick up on all the specific Hindu or Indian subtexts but even knowing that I found it a very rich and enjoyable book.
