Wonderful historical epic tale told from the perspective of the oppressed. Set in colonial British India and depicts bonded labor, drug addiction, caste system, and colonial oppression. Very emotional and hard to read at times. Has a hopeful tone and ending showing the courage and bravery of characters against heavy odds.
