As they move from a cramped, ant-infested shack to a larger house and try to adjust to a new way of life, allegiances realign; marriages are arranged and begin to falter; and conflict brews ominously in the background. Things become ghachar ghochara nonsense phrase uttered by one of the characters that comes to mean something tangled beyond repair, a knot that cant be untied. Elegantly written and punctuated by moments of unexpected warmth and humor, Ghachar Ghochar is a quietly enthralling, deeply unsettling novel about the shifting meaningsand consequencesof financial gain in contemporary India.
