About the Book

In the early 1980s, an escaped Australian prisoner flees to India to start a new life under a false identity. Arriving in Bombay, he becomes immersed in the city’s intense energy and diversity, finding friendship, love and unexpected purpose among its people.

As he builds a life in the crowded slums, he establishes a free health clinic for the poor, but his path soon leads him into the darker side of the city. Drawn into the criminal underworld, he works as a money launderer, forger and operative for the local mafia.

From the streets of Bombay to the mountains of Afghanistan, Shantaram is a powerful story of redemption, loyalty and the search for meaning in a complex world.
