Who killed twenty-four year old Priscilla Hart?
And why would anyone want to murder this idealistic American student
who had come to India to volunteer in a women’s health programme? In
this novel, the author experiments brilliantly with narrative form,
chronicling the mystery of Priscilla’s death through the often
contradictory accounts of a dozen or more characters. Intellectually
provocative and emotionally charged, Riot is a novel about the
ownership of history, about love, hate, cultural collision,
religious fanaticism, and the impossibility of knowing the
truth. |
