Review:
Don't let the lucid, lyrical grace of the prose fool you - this is a blistering, enthralling, bareknuckle ride of a novel. Its revelations about the "New India" are explosive * Neel Mukherjee, author of The Lives of Others * Jha's mode of conveying his stories is consistently tantalising: individual tales overlap, bouncing us from the first-person confidences of a widow estranged from her daughter because of her relationship with one of her late husband's pupils to the more surreal tableau of Orphan * Guardian * The best novel from and about India that I have read in a long time * Pankaj Mishra * Violence, tenderness, poverty, mobility: in short, a portrait of the New India * Jeet Thayil * She Will Build Him a City sets interwoven stories of violence, sex and longing in a vibrant Delhi * Irish Times Ones to Watch 2015 *
