The Moor's Last Sigh by Salman Rushdie

The Moor's Last Sigh (1996) by Salman Rushdie. By the award-winning author of "The Satanic Verses" (also available in my closet – bundle and save!). Synopsis: A ferociously witty family saga with a surreally imagined and sometimes blasphemous chronicle of modern India with peppery soliloquies on art, ethnicity, religious fanaticism, and the terrifying power of love. Moraes “Moor” Zogoiby, the last surviving scion of a dynasty of Cochinese spice merchants and crime lords, is also a compulsive storyteller and an exile. As he travels a route that takes him from India to Spain, he leaves behind a tale of mad passions and volcanic family hatreds, of titanic matriarchs and their mesmerized offspring, of premature deaths and curses that strike beyond the grave. This is a pre-owned paperback book in good used condition. There is some damage to the cover (as pictured) and creasing at the pages, but all pages are intact and there is no writing or other marking in the book.
