**One of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**

Moraes 'Moor' Zogoiby is the last in line of a crooked and fantastical dynasty of spice merchants and crime lords from Cochin. He is also a compulsive storyteller and an exile. As we travel with him on a route that takes him from India to Spain, he spins his labyrinthine family tale of mad passions and volcanic family hatreds, of titanic matriarchs and their mesmerised offspring, of premature deaths and curses that strike beyond the grave.

But does the India of his parents - populated by extravagant artists, piratical gatekeepers and mysterious lost paintings - still exist? And will he ever discover what became of his fiery and tempestuous mother? Moraes' epic quest to uncover the truth of the past is a love story to a vanishing world, and also its last hurrah.

A beautiful tragedy, ripping yarn and darkest of comedies beautifully narrated. Not Rushie's best which says an awful lot.

Fantastic and fantastical.

This is a book I’ve been wanting to read since the end of my undergraduate degree - I think because it features palimpsest paintings and stories, which I was fascinated by at the time. It is a wide-ranging family saga, mostly based in Bombay, India, with a playful style familiar from Rushdie’s Booker Prize-winning “Midnight’s Children”. Rushdie’s characters are colourful and cartoonish; and I sometimes found it difficult to keep track of who they all were and how they relate to each other - one of the downsides of fiction audiobooks. I eventually found it easier to follow after the first few hours.
