A landmark debut from a Pulitzer-winning New Yorker journalist: if Dickens were alive today, this is the book he might write about India.
At the perimeter of Mumbai''s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport stands the Annawadi slum. Here, next to one of Asia''s busiest transport hubs and the city''s gleaming glass towers, lives rubbish collectors, builders and migrants from rural India.
Boo spent the best part of four years in Annawadi. Her time there was spent primarily with three families, and her experiences with them are beautifully documented in Behind the Beautiful Forevers, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist''s first book.
Her writing documents the November 2008 terrorist attacks, the knock-on effects of the global recession and a serious crime in the slums, which has major repercussions for those who live there.
