The Ministry of Utmost Happiness takes us on an intimate journey across
the Indian subcontinent--from the cramped neighborhoods of Old Delhi and
the roads of the new city to the mountains and valleys of Kashmir and
beyond, where war is peace and peace is war. Braiding together the lives
of a diverse cast of characters who have been broken by the world they
live in and then rescued, patched together by acts of love--and by hope,
here Arundhati Roy reinvents what a novel can do and can be.
