A dazzling, multilayered book that not only has a searing love storyline but, with its epic reach from quarks to mythology to geopolitics, also encapsulates the destiny of the whole world. As Mumbai empties under the risk of imminent nuclear annihilation, Sarita, a 33-year-old statistician, can only think of one thing: being reunited with Karun, her physicist hubby. Why has he vanished? Who is he operating from? How will they form the category of three he's always wished? To look for him, Sarita must trip over the surreal landscape of the near-abandoned city, braving gangs of competing Hindu and Muslim hoodlums. Getting started with her is Jaz - nominally lady but whose true religious beliefs has always been making love with other men. Risk lurks around every corner, but so does the incongruous and the absurd: the patron goddess Devi Ma has even materialized on a beach to save her city from damage. Sarita's search leads her to this beach, thrusting her into a trinity so mercurial, so taking, that it'll alter her life more fundamentally than any apocalypse to come. Fearlessly provocative, wickedly comedic, and propelled with rocket-fuel energy, The City of Devi exuberantly upends assumptions of politics, religious beliefs, making love, and India's global emergence.
