Description
Beautifully done… As honest a book as it is entertaining’ -The Times ‘ Funny yet deeply melancholic, this is a brilliant and remarkably mature second novel… A rare achievement’ -The Economist Twenty-first-century Mumbai is a city of new money and soaring real estate, and property kingpin Dharmen Shah has grand plans for its future. His offer to buy and tear down a weathered tower block, making way for luxury apartments, will make each of its residents rich – if all agree to sell. But not everyone wants to leave; many of the residents have lived there for a lifetime, many of them are no longer young. As tensions rise among the once civil neighbours, one by one those who oppose the offer give way to the majority, until only one man stands in Shah’s way: Masterji, a retired schoolteacher, once the most respected man in the building. Shah is a dangerous man to refuse, but as the demolition deadline looms, Masterji’s neighbours – friends who have become enemies, acquaintances turned conspirators – may stop at nothing to score their payday.

I recently discovered this website through a friend so decided to give a shot. I can say that you guys are really doing a good job. Customer care is good and feels that you are interacting with a human. Book was packed nicely although I would have preferred recyclable packing. Nevertheless, the book came in good condition and didn’t had any issue to irk me.

This is definitely not a white tiger. But you can’t go on expecting every single book by the author to be. I think its a great read if you can get over the white tiger hangover.

Found it a bit of a marathon to finish though it was well written I just couldn’t empathise with any of the characters – especially with the “last man in the tower” though his neighbours were pretty awful too.

Go ahead, read and savour it for this is a wonderful and disturbing novel that deserves to be known as a modern masterpiece.
