A tremendous first novel from an exciting young author recently chosen as one of the Telegraph's '20 under 40' best UK writers. Famous for its electric chaos, the city of Bombay also accommodates pockets of calm. In one such space works Mohan, a contemplative man who has spent his life observing people from his seat as a letter-writer outside the main post office. But Mohan's lack of engagement with the world has caused a thawing of his marriage. At this delicate moment Mohan
- & his wife, Lakshmi
- are joined at their home in Saraswati Park by their nephew, Ashish, a sexually uncertain 19-year-old who has to repeat his final year in college. As the novel unfolds, the lives of each of the three characters are thrown into relief by the comical frustrations of family life: annoying relatives, unspoken yearnings & unheard grievances. When Lakshmi loses her only brother, she leaves Bombay for a relative's home to mourn not only the death of a sibling but also the vital force of her marriage. Ashish, meanwhile, embarks on an affair with a much richer boy in his college &, not long afterwards, succumbs to the overtures of his English tutor. As Mohan scribbles away in the margins of the sort of books he secretly hopes to write one day, he worries about whether his wife will return, what will become of Ashish, & if he himself will ever find his own voice to write from the margins about the centre of which he will never be a part.

There were three patrols that fateful January 1991 morning: Bravo One Zero, Bravo Two Zero & Bravo Three Zero. It was the opening hours of the Gulf War & the SAS were flown deep behind enemy lines to hunt down Saddam's Scud missiles, the use of which threatened a Third World War. The men of Bravo One Zero stepped off the chopper, took one look at the flat desert devoid of any cover & decided no way were they deploying into all of that. But Andy Nc Nab's famed Bravo Two Zero patrol did deploy, with fatal results
- all bar one being captured or killed. & then there was Bravo Three Zero. These men were different. Thought differently. Acted differently. Treating as gospel the SAS's saying 'any fool can be uncomfortable', they deployed with vehicles, & while there was nowhere to hide they could make a dash for the border if desperate. Even as warnings came in that Mc Nab's patrol was on the run, Bravo Three Zero remained undetected
- the furthest Coalition forces behind Iraqi li...
