Ground Beneath Her Feet is the sixth novel by Salman Rushdie. This novel was published in 1999-200. Interestingly a crowd of more than 500 people gathered on May 10th, 1999 for attending a reading and book signing by Rushdie.
Book is mainly reinterpretation of Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice by Salman Rushdie where rock music replaces Orpheus' lyre. Though novel in set in fictional world it somehow goes parallel to our real world. Book contains heavy dose of rock and roll, sex, drugs & mythology. Characters can be related to and seem to be heavily inspired by real life person like American president John F. Kennedy, John Lennon, Elvis Presley etc.
The story may not be compelling but The Ground Beneath Her Feet is certainly one of the most determined and proficient novel by Salman Rushdie. No doubt this surely be considered as his masterpiece.
