This is her story, and that of Ormus Cama, the lover who finds, loses, seeks, and again finds her, over and over, throughout his own extraordinary life in music. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTheir epic romance is narrated by Ormus's childhood friend and Vina's sometime lover, her back-door man, the photographer Rai, whose astonishing voice, filled with stories, images, myths, anger, wisdom, humor, and love, is perhaps the book's true hero. Telling the story of Ormus and Vina, he finds that he is also revealing his own truths: his human failings, his immortal longings. He is a man caught up in the loves and quarrels of the age's goddesses and gods, but dares to have ambitions of his own. And lives to tell the tale. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAround these three, the uncertain world itself is beginning to tremble and break. Cracks and tears have begun to appear in the fabric of the real. There are glimpses of abysses below the surfaces of things. \u003ci\u003eThe Ground Beneath Her Feet\u003c\/i\u003e is Salman Rushdie's most gripping novel and his boldest imaginative act, a vision of our shaken, mutating times, an engagement with the whole of what is and what might be, an account of the intimate, flawed encounter between the East and the West, a brilliant remaking of the myth of Orpheus, a novel of high (and low) comedy, high (and low) passions, high (and low) culture. It is a tale of love, death, and rock 'n' roll.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSalman Rushdie\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many acclaimed novels, including \u003ci\u003eMidnight's Children\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the Booker Prize and the Best of the Booker), G\u003ci\u003erimus, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eShame\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Satanic Verses\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHaroun and The Sea of Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Moor's Last Sigh, The Ground Beneath Her Feet, Fury, Shalimar the Clown, The Enchantress of Florence, Luka and the Fire of Life, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTwo Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights\u003c\/i\u003e--and a collection of short stories: \u003ci\u003eEast, West. \u003c\/i\u003eHe has also published works of nonfiction, including Joseph Anton (a memoir of his life under the fatwa issued after the publication of\u003ci\u003e The Satanic Verses\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eThe Jaguar Smile, Imaginary Homelands, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eStep Across This Line\u003c\/i\u003e--and co-edited the anthologies, \u003ci\u003eMirrorwork \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBest American Short Stories\u003c\/i\u003e.
