Arundhati Roy. Ministerstvo hranychnoho schastya. (The Ministry of Upmost Happiness)

"A second novel by the Indian writer published 20 years after "The God of Small Things". It is completely different in spirit, non-linear, and contradictory. Because this time the author casts her characters into the maelstrom of India's recent history, in particular into the beautiful forests of Jammu and Kashmir, where a heated armed conflict has been lasting for many years. And the characters themselves are representatives of diverse castes, denominations, and world views – they speak too very different voices..."
