Very much the average Indian in her knowledge of China when she set out for Beijing in 2002, Pallavi Aiyar soon became intrigued by the country and its strange mix of material prosperity and authoritarianism. As she compares it with India's experience of development, Pallavi Aiyar provides a perceptive analysis of the strengths and weakness of the process in both countries. An intimate look at a society undergoing relentless change, 'Smoke and Mirrors: An Experience of China' destroys many cliches as it opens new gateways through the Great Wall of China.
