Ghachar Ghochar

A family is delivered from near-destitution to sudden wealth, when allegiances and desires realign and conflict brews ominously. Things get all 'ghachar ghochar"--a nonsense phrase that once meant a knot that can't be untied, comes to mean something entangled beyond repair. An enthralling, unsettling novel about the shifting meanings--and consequences--of financial gain in contemporary India.
