Three Continents — Ruth Prawer Jhabvala

Three Continents is a tale of the clash between the easternized West and the westernized East. Twins Harriet and Michaelâ€"spoiled, quixotic, and extremely wealthyâ€"have eschewed the vapid world of cocktail parties and adulteries that seems to be their inheritance. In constantly searching to complete themselves, they become the perfect fodder for the charismatic Rawul of Dhoka and his sinister Sixth World Movement.
