The Moor's Last Sigh' is Moraes Zogoiby's story narrated by his own self to the readers from a land far away. "Moor", as he is referred to, has lived with the physical oddity of aging twice as fast as any normal human being. Owing to this little "special" aspect of his, Moor is commonly shunned and begins to tell the story of his life through a grave somewhere in Spain. He begins with the start of his ancestral family of spice lords from Cochin and recounts the lives of four generations hence, coming to his own: of his travels and his exile. Be it his connect with his eminent mother, Aurora, or the first love of his life, Uma, Moor describes his relationships with all the women he encountered in his life, vividly. Strewn with magnificent imageries of Indian culture, of the stories based on ethnicity and of the role of culture, Moor's story is a delight to the imagination. Written by Rushdie, a Booker Prize winner, 'The Moor's Last Sigh' shows his eye for detail and his skill to interweave his own sagas in the fictional life of Moor.
