In this colorful debut novel a cricket journalist quits his job, flees the familiarity of his Bombay home, and alights in Guyana, where almost half the population is descended from Indian indentured servants. There he meets diamond scavengers, visits sugarcane plantations, and becomes enthralled by this strange land of the formerly enslaved. Rahul Bhattachrya tells his tale of exploration in an accomplished, appealing voice that has earned comparison to the early work of V. S. Naipaul.
