A novel of high adventure great storytelling and moral purpose based on an extraordinary true story of eight years in the Bombay underworld. 'In the early 80s Gregory David Roberts an armed robber and heroin addict escaped from an Australian prison to India where he lived in a Bombay slum. There he established a free health clinic and also joined the mafia working as a money launderer forger and street soldier. He found time to learn Hindi and Marathi fall in love and spend time being worked over in an Indian jail. Then in case anyone thought he was slacking he acted in Bollywood and fought with the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan ...Amazingly Roberts wrote Shantaram three times after prison guards trashed the first two versions. It's a profound tribute to his willpower ...At once a high-kicking eye-gouging adventure a love saga and a savage yet tenderly lyrical fugitive vision.' Time Out
"So, if you're curious about where most folks in the UK do their Shantaram shopping, you're pretty much looking at a handful of major players who dominate the high street and out-of-town retail parks. Top of the list, without a doubt, are the colossal supermarket chains like Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Asda – they're your go-to for everything from your weekly groceries and household essentials to clothes and electronics. You'll find a branch of one of these practically everywhere. Then, for health and beauty products, plus a massive range of pharmacy items, Boots is an absolute institution, while Marks & Spencer (M&S) remains incredibly popular for its quality food (especially the 'Dine In' meals!) and stylish clothing. Don't forget department store giants like John Lewis, famous for their 'never knowingly undersold' policy and a huge selection of everything home and fashion. And for those looking for a bargain or quirky finds, discount retailers like B&M, Home Bargains, and Wilko (before its recent troubles!) have built massive followings. Basically, if you need it, there's a good chance one of these popular Shantaram stockists will have it covered! " - Bargainplace UK
