Book
Victory city : a novel / Salman Rushdie.
In the wake of an insignificant battle between two long-forgotten kingdoms in fourteenth-century southern India, a nine-year-old girl has a divine encounter that will change the course of history. Pampa Kampana becomes a vessel for the goddess Parvati, who begins to speak out of the girl's mouth. Over the next two hundred and fifty years, Pampa Kampana's life becomes deeply interwoven with the great city of Bisnaga. As years pass, rulers come and go, battles are won and lost, and allegiances shift, the very fabric of Bisnaga becomes an ever more complex tapestry--with Pampa Kampana at its center.
