The man was in fact German, but in small-town India in those days, all white foreigners were largely thought of as British.So begins the gracefully wrought (Kirkus Reviews) story of Myshkin and his mother, Gayatri, who rebels against tradition to follow her artists instinct for freedom.Freedom of a different kind is in the air across India. The fight against British rule is reaching a critical turn. The Nazis have come to power in Germany. At this point of crisis, two strangers arrive in Gayatris town, opening up to her the vision of other possible lives.What took Myshkins mother from India and Dutch-held Bali in the 1930s, ripping a knife through his comfortingly familiar universe? Excavating the roots of the world in which he was abandoned, Myshkin comes to understand the connections between the anguish at home and a war-torn universe overtaken by patriotism.Evocative and moving, this mesmerizing exploration of the darker consequences of freedom, love, and loyalty is an astonishing display of Roys literary prowess (Publishers Weekly).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51971955491104,"sku":"NEW1982100524","price":14.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/816H1dzaqiL.jpg?v=1783787726","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/all-the-lives-we-never-lived-a-novel-1982100524","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
