About this book
In a crumbling Mumbai housing society, a wealthy developer offers the residents of Vishram Tower a life-changing sum to sell up and move out. Almost everyone is tempted, until a stubborn retired schoolteacher refuses to sign, and the neighbours who once shared tea and gossip begin to turn on him. Adiga moves between clerks, widows, social climbers and fixers, letting each voice reveal its own bargains and self-deceptions as a city remakes itself in concrete and money. Sharp, darkly funny and steadily menacing, it builds from small domestic pressures toward something genuinely unsettling about greed, community and the cost of holding out.
