A stunning, multi-perspective epic about class division, the
contraints of gender roles, and the history of India. After living
in the US for years, Maneka Roy returns home to India to mourn the
loss of her mother and finds herself in a new world. The booming
city of Hrishipur where her father now lives is nothing like the
part of the country where she grew up, and the more she sees of
this new, sparkling city, the more she learns that nothing — and
no one — here is as it appears. Ultimately, it will take an
unexpected tragic event for Maneka and those around her to finally
understand just how fragile life is in this city built on
aspirations. Written from the perspectives of ten different
characters, Oindrila Mukherjee’s incisive debut novel explores
class divisions, gender roles, and stories of survival within a
society that is constantly changing and becoming increasingly
Americanised. It’s a story about India today, and people impacted
by globalisation everywhere: a tale of ambition, longing, and
bitter loss that asks what it really costs to try to build a
dream.Â
