Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life Hope and Death in a Mumbai Undercity By Katherine Boo
Welcome to 59th book synopsis.
Today’s book is the one that hits you hard. I am a hard core Mumbaikar, born and brought up here and I thought I knew Mumbai life reasonably well.
But there are things that are not known to you because you have never experienced them. E.g. living in slums. I have seen slums while going through train, walking or even gone once in Dharavi to do some shopping. But does that mean I know slums.
This is a book that shatters you from inside when you read about a daily life (struggle is a better word) of slumdwellers.
The name of the book is ’Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity’. Written by Katherine Boo and published by Hamish Hamilton, an imprint of Penguin Books
I strongly recommend each of us to read this novel looking non fictional book.
