Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'Immaculately constructed, acidly observed and gripping from start to finish,A Burningis a brilliant debut' The Guardian Megha Majumdars A Burning is an uncanny debut, a fierce condemnation of modern India - the corruption, racism, misogyny, the feverish obsession with celebrity this is the antithesis of shrill. The author, although still in her early thirties, has the composure of a mature artist, and has produced a political novel that makes its wider points through the subtle, intimate exploration of three characters livesSunday Times This is a short, sharp shock of a novel that shows us how easy it is to rally a mob, to kill a Muslim woman and to silence a whole community. These are things we all know on paper, but the power of a great novelist and Majumdar has a Dickensian flair and scope is to transform what we simply know into something we can feel. What a treat to start the year with a talent as fresh as this The Times 'A big hit in America last year, this buzzy debut about the impact of a terrorist attack in a Kolkata slum on three connected characters is full of hot-button global topics, including violent nationalism' Metro Powerful. [] Majumdars page-turning thriller seeks to open our eyes to the role of persecution in populist politicsMail on Sunday An evocative insight into class, corruption, injustice and power dynamics, this poignant tale makes for memorable readingCosmopolitan Majumdar conjures up three notably effervescent, intense voices Daily Telegraph Astonishing [] a novel of exceptional vision and craft. It offers a memorable portrait of Kolkata, a deeply moving human story, and provocative reflections on our times Times Literary Supplement Melding political thriller with dreamy bildungsroman, this searing debut follows three characters in the aftermath of a devastating terrorattack. [] An unflinching take on corruption and its consequencesi Newspaper 'A brilliant character study about politics and power, this assured debut moves at a thriller's pace but with a meticulous eye for detail.' Nikesh Shukla 'A Burning is a political thriller so charged and tense, it will keep you reading after lights out' Red Magazine A girl walks through the slums of Kolkata holding an armful of books. She returns home smelling of smoke, and checks her most prized possession: a brand-new smartphone, purchased in instalments. On Facebook, there is only one conversation. #KolabaganTrainAttack On the small, glowing screen, she types a dangerous thing If the police didnt help ordinary people like you and me, if the police watched them die, doesnt that mean that the government is also a terrorist? Set in contemporary India, A Burning is the story of three unforgettable characters, all dreaming of a better future, whose lives are changed for ever when they become caught up in the devastating aftermath of a terrorist attack. Jivan a poor, young, Muslim girl, who dreams of going to college faces a possible death sentence after being accused of collaborating with the terrorists. Lovely an exuberant hijra who longs to be a Bollywood star holds the alibi that can set Jivan free, but telling the truth will cost her everything she holds dear. PT Sir an opportunistic gym teacher who once taught Jivan becomes involved with Hindu nationalist politics and his own ascent is soon inextricably linked to Jivans fall. Taut, propulsive and electrifying, from its opening lines to its astonishing finale, A Burning confronts issues of class, fate, prejudice and corruption with a Dickensian sense of injustice, and asks us to consider what it means to nurture big ambitions in a country hurtling towards political extremism. ABurning is a novel for our times and for all time. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
