"It's true what they say--it's not we who control money, it's the money that controls us." In this masterful novel by the acclaimed Indian writer Vivek Shanbhag, a close-knit family is delivered from near-destitution to sudden wealth after the narrator's uncle founds a successful spice company. As the narrator--a sensitive young man who is never named--his sister, his parents, and his uncle move from a cramped, ant-infested shack to a larger house and begin to grow accustomed to their newfound wealth, the family dynamics begin to shift. Allegiances and desires realign; marriages are arranged and begin to falter; and conflict brews ominously in the background. Things begin to become "ghachar ghochar"--a nonsense phrase that, to the narrator, comes to mean something entangled beyond repair. Told in clean, urgent prose, and punctuated by moments of unexpected warmth and humor, Ghachar Ghochar is a quietly enthralling, deeply unsettling novel about the shifting meanings--and consequences--of financial gain in contemporary India"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 1 $a Adult. $b Brodart. 650 0 $a Families $z India $v Fiction. 651 0 $a India $x Social conditions $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Perur, Srinath, $e translator. 941 $a 7 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010015506.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217024429.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103015414.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20170412010859.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20170404013520.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20170308010428.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20170218010137.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB1B6B12F5A711E6B45EFBACDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
