About this book
A group of strangers boards the same bus in India, each carrying a private history, a set of hopes and an uneasy relationship with the world around them. As the journey unfolds, Tabish Khair moves between their perspectives, revealing connections across differences of class, religion and identity. A tragic event brings their separate stories into sudden focus.
