À propos de cet audio

 'A stylish and engaging tragi-comedy of manners . . . Keshava Guha is an astute and insightful observer of contemporary India' Amitav Ghosh, author of THE IBIS TRILOGY

'A waspishly witty eye cast on the war between sisters and brothers in polluted, high-achieving Delhi' Francis Spufford

The fiercest wars are fought between siblings.

Tara, a successful Dehli lawyer, is everything her younger brother isn't: dedicated, independent, thriving. When their beloved father retires, he summons them to a meeting. But what he has to say threatens to tear the family apart.

Tara's friend Lila has it all: a great job, a lovely home, a beautiful family. But when Lila's father dies unexpectedly, her brother wastes no time in claiming what he thinks is his.

Together, Tara and Lila are forced to confront the challenge that their ambition poses to patriarchal Delhi society. Set against a backdrop of ecological collapse and political unrest, The Tiger's Share is both a family and a state-of-the-nation novel unlike anything else in contemporary Indian fiction.

'An extraordinary new kind of Indian novel in English, as attuned to life in contemporary New Delhi as to the choices ecological collapse eventually will force upon us all. It's also the story of two unforgettable families, told with a controlled emotional precision that only intensifies the power of the novel's shocking conclusion' Nell Freudenberger, author of THE NEWLYWEDS©2025 Keshava Guha (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Spirituel
