Book Summary

'Riotously audacious and entertaining - a cinematic, jazzlike humdinger of a novel.' - KAMILA SHAMSIE - A sweeping historical saga set in WW2 Calcutta - Perfect for fans of Amitav Ghosh, Salman Rushdie and Amor Towles - Blends espionage, romance, and revolution - From award-winning writer and filmmaker Ruchir Joshi The world is at war. And at the Great Eastern, Calcutta's most luxurious hotel, amidst the feasting, dancing and laughter, we witness the metropolis in the last moments before multiple disasters strike. The story begins in August 1941, on the day Rabindranath Tagore dies. The city has come to a standstill as thousands of people line the streets to pay their respects. Among them are: Nirupama, a student of history and a volunteer with the Communist Party of India; Imogen, a young Englishwoman whose father is an official with the Raj; Kedar, the scion of a wealthy family, who dreams of painting like Cezanne; and Gopal, a young but experienced pickpocket, who finds himself promoted into a dark, dangerous world. Their lives intertwine with those at the hotel: an American soldier who plays jazz at the nightclub; a genius French chef; an heiress fleeing from the nightmare in Europe; and a group of military officers running a secret intelligence operation. Singularly ambitious and attentive, Ruchir Joshi's Great Eastern Hotel maps this simmering pause at a crucial juncture in history, and offers new contexts to the upheavals of our present, raising vital questions about political commitment, nationalism, love and art.
