Book Description:
"It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured." "'Shantaram' is not so much a mirror as a mirror ball, spinning with relentless drive, dazzling but ungraspable. And, again, audacious. Gloriously audacious" (Sydney Morning Herald) "With the grand sweep and scale of a Bollywood movie, 'Shantaram' is unlike any other Australian novel for quite some time this is a rip-roaring read Full of jail-house philosophy, human frailty and resilience, Sufi wisdom and street-fighting tactics, 'Shantaram' is by turns inspiring, hair-raising and poignant" (Australian Bookseller and Publisher)

Review by Graham 
Shantaram is a blend of vivid dialogue, unforgettable characters, amazing adventures, and superb evocations of Indian life. It can be read as a vast, extended thriller, as well as a superbly written meditation on the nature of good and evil.

It is a compelling tale of a hunted man who had lost everything, his family and his soul, and who came to find his humanity at the wildest edge of experience.

A huge book in every sense, it is over 930 pages in length and has a sweep and power that will captivate you.
