God on Every Wind

When Philomena, a born rebel--disillusioned with her middle-class comfort and the expectations of her parents--and Nestor, an impoverished African exile with the heart of a poet, meet by chance on the streets of 1960s Bombay, their attraction will change their lives forever. Spanning two continents and following a story of love, loss, and politics--set against a backdrop of turbulent societies, times, and allegiances--this powerful debut novel explores the possibilities and limitations of individual and political revolution. Humorous and at once tragic, this story will appeal to those interested in contemporary world literature.
