The year - 1958. The setting – post-colonial India, still not wholly liberated from the influence of the Empire. The players - Ravinder Singh, successful anglophile engineer and David Massey, humble carpenter. As their worlds collide and their lives intersect at crucial junctures, the narrative weaves seamlessly across generations between their seemingly disconnected lives, loves, families, and fortunes, as the book hurtles towards its ironic dénouement where a stunning reversal of fortune plays itself out. Underscoring the vagaries of destiny, the whims and caprices of Lady Luck, and the outrageous reversals of fate that turn our lives upside down, Slings And Arrows is a page-turner that fans of Jeffrey Archer and Sidney Sheldon will enjoy.
