Just before dawn one winter's morning, a hijacked jetliner explodes above the English Channel. Through the falling debris, two figures, Gibreel Farishta, the biggest star in India, and Saladin Chamcha, an expatriate returning from his first visit to Bombay in fifteen years, plummet from the sky, washing up on the snow-covered sands of an English beach, and proceed through a series of metamorphoses, dreams, and revelations. --back cover
I wasn't expecting this. Not after all the violence and everything anyway.
The book is unexpectedly funny, full of a lot of history I don't totally know myself - so I'll have to do some research. But it was a fun read, and enlightening read for the most part, and I plan on reading it again after I've learned a little more.
