Hugo Baumgartner, un joven judío alemán, se ve obligado a huir de su tierra natal tras el ascenso de los nazis al poder. Su viaje lo lleva a través de Venecia hasta la India, donde espera encontrar refugio, pero termina siendo encarcelado como un extranjero hostil durante la guerra. Al ser liberado en Bombay, se encuentra en un país convulso, atrapado entre nacionalistas y colonialistas, viviendo como un eterno extranjero en una tierra de contrastes dramáticos. Esta aclamada novela de Anita Desai explora las profundas heridas emocionales de la guerra y el exilio. A través de una prosa rica y evocadora, la autora presenta la historia de un superviviente que busca estabilidad en un mundo en constante cambio, ofreciendo una visión conmovedora sobre la identidad y la pertenencia en la India poscolonial.
