Set in the underworld of contemporary Bombay, Shantaram is narrated by Lin, an escaped convict with a false passport who flees maximum security prison in Australia for the teeming streets of a city where he can disappear . . .
An epic novel that has the world of human experience in its reach, and a passionate love for India at its heart, Shantaram is based on the life of the author, and is by any measure the debut of an extraordinary voice in literature.
"Shantaram is one of the most gripping tales of personal redemption you'll ever read.” -- Giant Magazine
