About the book
Katherine Boo takes the reader inside a settlement in Mumbai, narrating true stories of families living on the margins of Indian society. Through deep ethnographic observation, she portrays the daily struggle for survival, the dreams that sustain precarious lives, and the injustices that perpetuate poverty.
A long-form piece of reporting that humanizes the invisible and questions structures of inequality, written with compassion and journalistic rigor.
