There are some breathtakingly eloquent passages
Spectator
The story is exciting and memorably analyses the way in which fanaticism can wreck the most inoffensive lives

Shalimar the Clown is Rushdie's most engaging book since Midnight's Children. It is a lament. It is a revenge story. it is a love story. And it is a warning
Observer
Passionate, well-informed

I'd say it's his best novel yet

A brilliant symphony... Exceptional... One of Rushdie's best novels yet

Extraordinary... Worth engaging with at every level; a thrilling story told in thrilling language

This is an important book... Wonderful
The Times
Excellent... A characteristically daring walk along the tightrope of fiction

Deeply disturbing and immensely moving... An exquisite, broken thing of pain and beauty
