The novel introduces a cast of compelling characters, each grappling with their own demons. The character of Sren, who falls under the influence of the Godman RoshanJu, is particularly intriguing. Asvin, Sren's lover, refuses to comply with the Godman's influence, and ends up losing her. The sudden death of Jordan and the painful loss of Sren force Asvin to question his identity and meaning in life, leading to a brutal kidnapping in the jungles of Burma and a visit to Kamchatka, where he learns the true meaning of love, friendship, and loss.
The last chapter of the book, "The Deluge of Kashmir," is a masterful exploration of the power of choice. Asvin finds himself trapped in a massive deluge, and must make a choice between saving himself or saving the person who destroyed his past. The flood in the end cleanses all, leaving readers with a renewed sense of hope and purpose.
