520    "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 Americanized. It's a story about
       India today, and people impacted by globalization 
       everywhere: a tale of ambition, longing, and bitter loss 
       that asks what it really costs to try and build a dream"--
