Let me first note the obvious:
Salman Rushdie is an intellectual and his writing is multi-layered. HIS BOOKS ARE NOT ENTERTAINMENT 101, THEY ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE.

In this book, Rushdie rises far above other writers in his adept use of language and plotting. This novel was memorable because of the knowledge he imparted about earthquakes which revealed much research on his part. The story is about a family and two brothers in love with the same rather mysterious woman who defies description. His understanding of family dynamics is extraordinary and the plot of the book moves it along at a fast pace even though it is long. I can highly recommend this book.

I will summon it up by saying that Rushdie can create fascinating descriptions, his stories are from life and are lot more that just stories. But despite all that and his captivating writing style, his books can get tedious, and very long. I my self have love and hate "relationship" with his books.
