A wonderful novel in two parts, moving from the heart of a close-knit Indian household, with its restrictions & prejudices, its noisy warmth & sensual appreciation of food, to the cool centre of an American family, with its freedom & strangely self-denying attitudes to eating. In both it is ultimately the women who suffer, whether, paradoxically, from a surfeit of feasting & family life in India, or from self-denial & starvation in the US. Or both. Uma, the plain, older daughter still lives at home, frustrated in her attempts to escape & make a life for herself. Her Indian family is difficult, demanding but mostly, good-hearted. Despite her disappointments, Uma comes through as the survivor, avoiding an unfulfilling marriage, like her sister's, or a suicidal one, like that arranged for her pretty cousin. & in America, where young Arun goes as a student, men in the suburbs char hunks of bleeding meat while the women don't appear to cook or eat at all

Robespierre was only 36 when he died, sent to the guillotine where he had sent thousands ahead of him. Only a few months before, this pale & fragile man, formal, anxious to the point of paranoia, steeled by deep-held principles, had held centre place in the new Festival of the Supreme Being, wearing his sky-blue coat & decreeing a new religion for France. Robespierre & the Revolution were inseparable: a single inflexible tyrant. But what turned a shy young lawyer into the living embodiment of the Terror at its most violent? Admirers called him 'the great incorruptible'; critics dubbed him a 'monster', a 'bloodthirsty charlatan'; even his friends found him hard to underst&.

Ruth Scurr sheds a dazzling new light on this puzzle, tracing Robespierre's life from a troubled childhood in provincial Arras to the passionate idealist, fighting for the rights of the people, & sweeping on to the implacable leader prepared to sign the death warrant for his closest friends. No backdrop can match the French revolution: it burns with human interest. As Scurr says, ' More than haunting, it obsesses, because it will not lie down & die'. Her brilliant, probing narrative brings the Revolution & its chilling hero to fiery life once again, helping us to understand how ideals & fanaticism can so often go hand in h&, as they still do today.
