Sinopse
Having dedicated her life to achieving professional success in Delhi, Tara is everything her brother isn't: steadfast, independent, thriving. But when their beloved father retires, he reveals himself to be far from the quiet, conventional accountant they thought they knew - and the family is thrown into disarray. Meanwhile, Tara's friend, Lila, has it all: the great job, the lovely home, the beautiful family. But when her father dies, Lila's brother wastes no time in claiming what's his. Together, Tara and Lila two are now forced to confront the challenge that their ambition and success have posed to patriarchal Delhi society.
In a country where old elites and norms are under threat, the pursuit of private aspiration plays out against a dystopian daily background of ecological collapse and political unrest. Unlike anything else in contemporary Indian fiction, The Tiger's Share is a stunning state-of-the-nation novel that is also intensely personal.
Resumo da Crítica
'A brilliant conceit - far wider in its implications than it first seems - and a waspishly witty eye cast on the war between sisters and brothers in polluted, high-achieving Delhi' (Francis Spufford)
