      abstract = {A family saga reflecting the troubled state of India. The  protagonists are four generations of the da Gama, who  became wealthy in the spice trade before declining into  gangsterism. Their tale is narrated by the family's last  descendant and he attributes their fall to bickering, a  reflection of Hindu-Moslem strife plaguing India today.  Peopled with odd characters--the narrator is the product of  a Jewish father and a Christian mother--the novel is a  pessimistic counterpoint to the author's optimistic  Midnight's Children, on India's struggle for independence.},
