 ST NEW NOVELIST 2025\nSHORTLISTED FOR THE WATERSTONES DEBUT FICTION PR
 IZE 2025\nA BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE INDEPENDENT, TELEGRAPH, NERVE AND 
 GUARDIAN\n'An ambitious, stylishly delivered novel ... Reminiscent of 
 Salman Rushdie' OBSERVER\n'Johal has written a major novel, and at his
  very first attempt' TELEGRAPH, 5-STAR REVIEW\n'Saraswati is a major a
 chievement, and Johal a huge talent. One of the biggest novels of the 
 year' Martin MacInnes, Booker-longlisted author of In Ascension\nCentu
 ries ago, the myths say, the holy river Saraswati flowed through what 
 is now Northern India.\nBut when Satnam arrives in his ancestral villa
 ge for his grandmother's funeral, he is astonished to find water in th
 e long-dry well behind her house. The discovery sets in motion a conte
 ntious scheme to unearth the lost river and build a gleaming new city 
 on its banks, and Satnam - adrift from his job, girlfriend and flat ba
 ck in London - soon finds himself swept up in this ferment of Hindu na
 tionalist pride. As the river alters Satnam's course, so it reveals bu
 ried ties to six distant relatives scattered across the globe - from a
 n ambitious writer with her eye on legacy to a Kenyan archaeologist to
  a Bollywood stunt double - who are brought together in a rapidly chan
 ging India.\nBrimming with love, lush, violence and loss, Gurnaik Joha
 l's magisterial debut deftly animates the passions that bind us to our
  histories, our lands and each other.\n\nFor more information visit ht
