Yes, I'm sure everyone's read it but - needing something hefty to take away over the Christmas holiday - I decided to see if it would take re-reading and I can say emphatically that it does. I was surprised how much rich detail I had forgotten or even remembered wrongly and re-discovering such inimitable characters as Mrs Rupa Mehra was pure delight. This is definitely one book I would take to a desert island - inexhaustible pleasure!
