One very powerful eunuch, Top Rani, operates an illicit lottery through his brothel, and when a gambler who is deeply in debt makes an unexpected wager, the stakes become life and death. Can a fortune teller and a ten-year-old girl beat Top Rani at his own game? Bombay Black tells the story of Apsara, Bombay's most infamous dancer who lives with her iron-willed mother, Padma, in an apartment by the sea. Padma takes money from men so they can watch her daughter perform a mesmerizing dance. Apsara's extraordinary beauty and erotically charged dancing cast a powerful spell over her wealthy and famous clientele. When a mysterious blind man named Kamal visits for a private dance, his secret link to their past threatens to change each of their lives forever. At turns lyrical and brutal, Bombay Black charts the seduction of Apsara by Kamal, and Padma's violent enmity towards the blind man and the secret he holds."--Provided by publisher.Mumbai (India)DramaC812.6cci1icclacccoll13laccIrani Anosh1974-1528182Irani Anosh1974-1528182Irani Anosh1974-1528182MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793752003321The Bombay plays3771614UNINA
