In this breathtaking publication by Pulitzer Prize winner Katherine Boo, a bewildering age of global change and inequality is manufactured human through the dramatic story of families striving toward a better life in Annawadi, a makeshift settlement in the darkness of extravagance hotels close to the Mumbai airport.

As India starts to prosper, the residents of Annawadi are electrical with hope. Abdul, an enterprising teen, sees “a lot of money beyond counting” in the recyclable garbage that richer people throw away. Meanwhile Asha, a female of formidable ambition, offers identified a shadier path to the middle course. With a little good fortune, her beautiful girl, Annawadi’s “most-everything female,” might become its first female college graduate. As well as the poorest kids, like the youthful thief Kalu, experience themselves inching closer to their dreams. But Abdul can be falsely accused in a surprising tragedy; terror and global tough economy rock the city; and suppressed tensions over religion, caste, sex, power, and financial envy switch brutal.

With intelligence, humor, and deep insight into what connects visitors to one another in an era of tumultuous change, Behind the stunning Forevers, predicated on years of uncompromising reporting, carries the reader headlong into one of the twenty-first century’s hidden worlds-and in to the hearts of families impossible to forget.
