Behind the beautiful eternities

Author's Name: Catherine Boo


Life in the Ana Wadi slum is harsh and difficult. Behind the luxurious hotels surrounding Mumbai airport, amid the boom that India experienced with the beginning of the global economic transformation at the turn of the millennium, slum dwellers pin their hopes on change for a better future. Abdul, a quiet Muslim boy, sees immense wealth in recycling the trash of the rich. Asha, scarred by a childhood spent in rural poverty, chooses a different path to the middle class through political corruption, hoping her beautiful, idealistic daughter will become the slum's first college-educated girl. Even the poorest of them, Kalu, a 15-year-old petty thief, dreams of approaching a decent life and happy days.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Kathryn Boo presents this narrative account, revealing the harsh and sometimes tragic reality of families struggling for a chance to change their fate in one of the world's largest and most unequal cities. For four years (2008-2012), Boo lived in the slums of Mumbai among the real-life characters who inspired this work.
