Žega i prašina

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala

Probably the best novel about the great Indian melting pot since Kim. The book received the Booksellers Award in Great Britain, and a movie was made about it.

The novel is set in India. It is a story about the beautiful and spoiled Olivia, who is bored in a small, stuffy town where her husband works in the civil service, and who shocks the society of that time by leaving her husband for an Indian prince, and about her great-granddaughter by her husband who returns to the heat fifty years later , the dust and dirt of the Satipur bazaar to solve the riddle of Olivia's scandal.
