Book 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.
