About the book
Delhi, 1963. On the tenth of January the state makes it a crime to own gold above fourteen carats, which in a country where a woman's ornaments are her only property is not a currency measure but a confiscation. Aurelia Fanshawe arrives in the middle of the cold weather season, at thirty-five, better at her work than she has ever been, and spends ten months proving exactly what a dining club's Delhi office is selling and to whom. She proves all of it. She is correct in every particular. And the report is acknowledged, filed, and read by nobody, because the year's decisions are being taken in rooms she is not on the list for.
