description: In this brilliant remaking of the myth of Orpheus, Salman Rushdie tells the love story of Vina Aspara, a famous and much-loved singer, and Ormus Cama, an extraordinary songwriter and musician, who captivate and change the world through their music and their romance. Beginning in Bombay in the 1950s, moving to vibrant London in the '60s, and frenzied New York for the last quarter century, the novel pulsates with a half century of music and celebrates the awesome power of rock'n'roll.
