Roaming India in 1939 and the early 1940s, two flawed but extraordinary men latch onto each other with shocking consequences as each follows an ill-fated quest for “enlightenment.” Moses, a Polish Jew, is fleeing both the Nazis and his own failed marriage; Sahadeva, an itinerant Hindu monk, is trying to resolve his crisis of religious belief. Both men find themselves embroiled in hardship, shame, and chaos, stumbling into scandal and ultimately tragedy.

First there is Adam Weinberger's long childhood, in a world that has no idea yet what is in store for it. The childhood of a lover of illusions, who dreams of changing the world and of freeing his family from the burden of a tradition that he finds unbearable. The adolescence of a young boy who is unable to express his love for Esther, his admiration for his uncle, his tenderness toward his mother.The helplessness of a young man who sees that dreams and fiction are unable to halt the destruction of this world and of its inhabitants.

Two main characters in this book could not be any more different; Louis & Victor. Louis gets a tough start in life, but for an amazing brush with Magda, he would be forced into anonymity. Instead, an amazing family history unfolds, starting with a very brave great grandfather. Victor on the other hand, is a young man with ambition which brings him into contact with a dangerous and powerful enemy. The Ghosts of the past bring the two men together with surprising results for both of them.
