NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POSTOn a cool evening in Kolkata, India, beneath a full moon, as the whirling rhythms of traveling musicians fill the night, college professor Alok encounters a mysterious stranger with a bizarre confession and an extraordinary story. Tantalized by the man?s unfinished tale, Alok will do anything to hear its completion. So Alok agrees, at the stranger?s behest, to transcribe a collection of battered notebooks, weathered parchments, and once-living skins.From these documents spills the chronicle of a race of people at once more than human yet kin to beasts, ruled by instincts and desires blood-deep and ages-old.

Ru is a boy from nowhere. Though he lives somewhere the city of Calcutta his classmates in school remind him he doesn't look like them, and must come from somewhere else. When Ru asks his parents, they tell him he is descended from nomads. But even nomads must come from somewhere. The question, forever on the mind of the boy from nowhere, is where.
