Salman Rushdie's most ambitious and accomplished novel, sure to be hailed as his masterpiece.
At the beginning of this stunning novel, Vina Apsara, a famous and much-loved singer, is caught up in a devastating earthquake and never seen again by human eyes. 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. Their 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. Around 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. The Ground Beneath Her Feet 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.Binding Type: Paperback

BEWARE! THIS DOES NOT WORK
Does not work no way you try it. All it does is makes you look extremely dirty like you rub mud all over your body and gets all over any and everything that you touch. I personally don't want to stand for a whole hour, nor do I have the time too, to wait for this to dry. You have to get back in the shower because of the mud look it leaves or it gets all over stuff after it dries for an hour. When you get in to wash off it takes what mud tan you get right off with it. I've used this product for over a month and tried every way I could find on the internet to use this product, or similar products, and still no good results. Before I ever post a review I give more than enough time for product to work bc I give everything I purchase the benefit of proving what the description I read says. Unfortunately this product did the total opposite and showed me no results. So beware to the next person searching for a product to give you as a very busy mother that doesn't exactly have time to work, take care of home, kids, husband, etc or anyone wanting to get a quick tan since you don't have time to get it the natural way to lay out our go swimming in order to get a tan. Let me help save you much disappointment like I feel, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT BC IT DOES NOT WORK.

Natural looking tan, easy to apply.
The sunless tanner is easy to apply with a mitt and leaves you with a natural looking tan. There is no strong smell, which is a huge plus, in my opinion. This is the only sunless tanner I will use.

Best self tanner I’ve tried
Actually gives you a glowing tanned look, better after multiple days use, the initial use wasn’t as dark as I hoped but then after using 2-3 days I could really see the difference

Not like before
This was the second time I’d used this product and this shipment was not like the first order I’d gotten.
This one had the texture of pudding and there was no way you could walk outside and be seen in public after applying it. It looked like mud smeared all over your body. You had to put it on at night wake up in the morning and shower, and most of it came off. You also had to clean your sheets because it was on everything you touched.
This batch was complete garbage and a total waste of my money!
