A Son Of The Circus

A sweeping, unpredictable novel that collides crime, identity, cinema, and circus life — A Son of the Circus follows Dr. Farrokh Daruwalla, a Toronto-based orthopedic surgeon originally from Bombay, as he returns to India under emotional and scientific pressures. 

Daruwalla becomes entwined in a harrowing murder mystery triggered by a film he ghost-writes -- and soon finds himself navigating a world of circus dwarves, Bollywood glamour, street life, crime and social upheaval.

With larger-than-life characters, twin identities, cultural dislocation and moral complexity, this novel delivers all the ambition and vivid storytelling John Irving is known for.

Condition: Very Good. Hardcover does have some writing on first inside page.
