The Ground Beneath Her Feet
Description
Salman Rushdie delivers his most ambitious and accomplished novel, a sweeping epic of love, loss, and the transformative power of music. The story centers on the enigmatic singer Vina Apsara and Ormus Cama, the man whose life is inextricably bound to hers through an extraordinary, cyclical romance. Narrated by Ormus's friend Rai, a photographer whose voice is as compelling as the myths he recounts, the novel explores themes of human failing, immortal longings, and the very fabric of reality. This is a gripping, bold imaginative act, a brilliant reimagining of myth set against the backdrop of a mutating world, filled with high and low passions, comedy, and the enduring spirit of rock 'n' roll.
