Description
FROM THE TWICE MAN BOOKER PRIZE SHORTLISTED
AUTHOR OF THE RELUCTANT FUNDAMENTALIST AND
EXIT WEST, A STORY OF LOVE, LOSS, AND
REDISCOVERY IN A TIME OF UNSETTLING CHANGE.
One morning, Anders wakes to find that his skin has turned
dark, his reflection a stranger to him. At first he tells only
Oona, an old friend, newly a lover. Soon, reports of similar
occurrences surface across the land.
Some see in the transformations the long-dreaded
overturning of an established order, to be resisted to a bitter
end. In many, like Anders’s father and Oona’s mother, a
sense of profound loss wars with profound love.
As the bond between Anders and Oona deepens, change takes on a different shading: a chance to see one another,
face to face, anew.
