Somehow, this book magically contains all of my favorite genres, Indian and Southern gothic, and gets if RIGHT! Fascinating novel about an American woman who retreated to India following a tragedy to run a guest house on the bank of the Ganges. We learn about the lives of this woman and her guests during an imposed curfew following an episode of political turmoil and violence. Loved it!!
