An Obedient Father

An Obedient Father

<p><strong>€œA powerful debut novel that establishes Sharma as a supreme storyteller.€€•<em>Philadelphia Inquirer</em></strong></p> Ram Karan, a corrupt official in New Delhi, lives with his widowed daughter and his little granddaughter. Bumbling, sad, ironic, Ram is also a man corroded by a terrible secret. Taking the reader down into a world of feuding families and politics, <em>An Obedient Father</em> is a work of rare sensibilities that presents a character as formulated, funny, and morally ambiguous as any of Dostoevsky€s antiheroes.
