Publisher's Summary
Who killed 24-year-old Priscilla Hart? And why would anyone want to murder this idealistic American student who had come to India to volunteer in a women’s health programme? Was she the innocent victim of a riot between Hindus and Muslims?
Shashi Tharoor experiments brilliantly with narrative form, chronicling the mystery of Priscilla Hart’s death through the often contradictory accounts of a dozen or more characters. Intellectually provocative and emotionally charged, Riot is a novel about the ownership of history, about love, hate, cultural commission, religious fanaticism, and the impossibility of knowing the truth.

A good reference point of Hindu Muslim riots
The author is using the story of an illicit affair of an Indian goverment official to articulate his idea of India, its history and perspective of communalism in the contemporary India. The story is secondary, the views -primary. a good and clear diction. Enjoyed listening to it. I am sure others will, too.
