Heard this reviewed on Radio 4. A bit different.
A novel disguised as 'self-help' book very simply about getting rich in rising Asia.
Very cynical; no characterisation, just a quick 'one chapter a decade' about a guy who decides to do just that—selling cheap bottled water—and rises up from rural poverty through the Indian moneyed classes.
He [the author] writes clever prose, but I found the point of it a bit obscure. I am a bit over-read at the moment, for which Tolstoy may have to take some of the blame.
