Q & A

Q & A by Vikas Swarup is a wonderful and clever story, set in India about 18 year old Ram Mohammad Thomas who is arrested after winning top prize in a quiz show. He relates to his solicitor his life stories which are the reason he knew the 13 correct answers. Through his young life he battled poverty, intolerance and injustice and learned many lessons which guided his answers, but he seems indifferent to the wealth promised by the quiz show. Each chapter is a story behind a question as we move back and forward in time to learn about his life. 5/5
