Rush for Rushdie

Salman Rushdie is never one to disappoint, and the 'Moor's last sigh' is an intense continuation of this marvellous trend. The book is a sensually written fictional biography, with trademark Rushdie attention to detail and plausible prose. It is as if we are being sat down and walked through the amazing life experience of Moor, the story's anti-hero. The book is bathed in mystery. Why does our hero suffer so? What secrets lie behind the facade of his prominent family? How is a certain artist involved in the plot? As the tale unfurls, so do the mysteries, and masterful twists will leave the reader amazed.
The scent and spirit of India pervades the novel as the author choses once again to base his story in the region. Rushdie masterfully uses India as a backdrop with a character and life of its own.
Salman Rushdie has an amazing ability to help the reader empathise with the plights of his super-human subjects. Recommended to any Rushdie fans, or anyone who enjoyed 'God of Small things,' this book is one for lovers of the written art, which Rushdie is a master of. If you enjoyed this book, try other books by the author, including 'Midnight's Children' and 'Shame.'
