This was not expected of her. It has flashes of her brilliance, but it wanders too far and too often from the path.Arundhati Roy waited 20 years to write the follow up to her Booker-prize-winning and best-selling debut novel, so unsurprisingly many publishers vied for this book.

Roy's thoughts against the Indian state are well-known.
