Time magazine described the work as one of the 100 best novels ever written. The story comes to a boil around racial tensions and prejudices. All is set against the backdrop of the British Raj and the Indian independence movement in the 1920s.

I don't know about the story (because i couldn't past 3 chapters) but the narration is so terrible it is impossible to listen to. The exaggerated stereotypical Indian accent used by the narrator is like nails on a chalkboard.

Absolutely atrocious narration

The good: the book is every bit a masterpiece

The bad: the narration is utter crap. Even if I forgive the reader’s clumsy attempts to speak like Indians, he has no sense of time, pauses, or even volume. This leaves us with a muddled mess which can become unintelligible at times. I have had better results with adobe’s auto read function

Good book marred by p@ss poor performance
