An interesting, fictional account of the Sepoy Mutiny in India. It also parodies the class distinctions of the British and many of their beliefs. I especially enjoyed the arguments of two doctors about how cholera is transmitted.

This book received the Brooker Prize, a prestigious literary award conferred each year for the best single work of sustained fiction written in the English language, which was published in the United Kingdom and/or Ireland.
