The Ministry of Utmost Happiness transports us across a subcontinent on a journey of many years. It takes us deep into the lives of its gloriously rendered characters, each of them in search of a place of safety--in search of meaning, and of love. In a graveyard outside the walls of Old Delhi, a resident unrolls a threadbare Persian carpet. On a concrete sidewalk, a baby suddenly appears, just after midnight. In a snowy valley, a bereaved father writes a letter to his five-year-old daughter about the people who came to her funeral. In a second-floor apartment, a lone woman chain-smokes as she reads through her old notebooks. At the Jannat Guest House, two people who have known each other all their lives sleep with their arms wrapped around each other, as though they have just met. A braided narrative of astonishing force and originality, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness is at once a love story and a provocation--a novel as inventive as it is emotionally engaging. It is told with a whisper, in a shout, through joyous tears and sometimes with a bitter laugh. Its heroes, both present and departed, have been broken by the world we live in--and then mended by love. For this reason, they will never surrender. How to tell a shattered story? By slowly becoming everybody. No. By slowly becoming everything. Humane and sensuous, beautifully told, this extraordinary novel demonstrates on every page the miracle of Arundhati Roy's storytelling gifts"-- "An epic novel of love and history and the perseverance of the human spirit in the face of loss and tragedy"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Roy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Roy Claimed Returned 09/13/2017 Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Fiction Roy, Arundhati Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Roy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Roy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Roy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Roy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Roy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Roy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Roy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
