"In Bangalore, India, five young women fight to save their homes, which are really only shacks and lean-tos, in a slum named "Heaven," which the city wants to bulldoze in order to accommodate its growing tech industry".
Five abandoned women in contemporary Bangalore support each other through the hardships of a hand-to-mouth existence while protecting their slum community from redevelopment by a city that does not care what happens to them. A first adult novel.
"The language takes on a musicality that is in sharp contrast to the bleak setting . . . refreshing . . . a strong debut." New York Times Book Review subramanian writes with empathy and exuberance, offering a much-needed glimpse into a world that too many of us don't even know exists. This is a book to give your little sister, your mother, your best friend, yourself, so together you can celebrate the strength of women and girls, the tenacity it takes to survive in a world that would rather have you disappear.' 'NylonIn the tight-knit community known as Heaven, a ramshackle slum hidden between luxury high-rises in Bangalore, India, five girls on the cusp of womanhood forge an unbreakable bond. Muslim, Christian, and Hindu; queer and straight; they are full of life, and they love and accept one another unconditionally. Whatever they have, they share. Marginalized women, they are determined to transcend their surroundings. When the local government threatens to demolish their tin shacks in order to build a shopping mall, the girls and their mothers refuse to be erased. Together they wage war on the bulldozers sent to bury their homes, and, ultimately, on the city that wishes that families like them would remain hidden forever. Elegant, poetic, and vibrant, A People's History of Heaven takes a clear-eyed look at adversity and geography and dazzles in its depiction of these women's fierceness and determination not just to survive, but to triumph.
In a powerful and moving debut, a talented new voice in literature introduces readers to five courageous and determined young women who fight to save their homes in the slums of Bangalore, India.
