About the Book

This is an audacious first novel that captures the collective consciousness of a city. Fast-paced and innovative, No God in Sight unfolds through first-person accounts of an unusual cast of an abortionist, a convert, a pregnant refugee, a gangster in hiding, a butcher and an apathetic CEO, among others. From monologue to short story to anecdote, the reader is hurled without pause from one life and perspective to a family flees religious persecution in their village to take refuge in an urban slum, women walk the tightrope of free will and dormant violence, a father and son grant each other the relief of estrangement, and young men and women struggle to comprehend the consequences of sexual attraction. At the heart of the action is the city a teeming, breathing, suffering Mumbai that demands subservience and total surrender before it will sanction survival.
