Description
Salman Rushdie's epic novel tells the story of Zogoiby, the last in line of a crooked and fantastical dynasty of spice merchants and crime lords. As he travels from India to Spain, Zogoiby spins a labyrinthine family tale of mad passions and volcanic family hatreds, of titanic matriarchs and their mesmerised offspring. This is a love story to a vanishing world, where the past and present collide in a swirl of colour and sound. At its heart, this novel is an exploration of identity, belonging and the search for truth. Zogoiby's quest to uncover the secrets of his family's past is both a personal journey and a testament to the power of storytelling. With its vivid characters, exotic landscapes and rich cultural heritage, The Moor's Last Sigh is a deeply human and utterly captivating tale. One of the most significant novels of Salman Rushdie's career, this book has been widely acclaimed for its beauty, complexity and emotional depth.
