AN OBSERVER BEST NEW NOVELIST 2025 SHORTLISTED FOR THE WATERSTONES DEBUT FICTION PRIZE 2025 A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE INDEPENDENT, TELEGRAPH, NERVE AND GUARDIAN 'An ambitious, stylishly delivered novel ... Reminiscent of Salman Rushdie' OBSERVER 'Johal has written a major novel, and at his very first attempt' TELEGRAPH, 5-STAR REVIEW When the waters of the Saraswati, a river of legend, start to rise in a corner of northern India, seven scattered descendants of a forbidden marriage are unexpectedly swept up in its current. Satnam, adrift from his life in London, is drawn into a contentious scheme to restore the river. Nathu, an archaeologist, ventures from Nairobi to a dig site that might reveal artefacts of a lost civilisation. And elsewhere in former lands of empire - in Singapore, Canada, Mauritius and Pakistan - the ripples are felt across generations. Gurnaik Johal's panoramic debut deftly animates the passions that bind us to our histories and each other. 'A rich tapestry, occasionally bewildering, often beguiling' THE NEW YORK TIMES
