Shortlisted for the person Booker Award, Neel Mukherjee provides a robust, epic storyline of a family and a land. The ageing patriarch and matriarch of the Ghosh family preside over their large household, made up of their five mature children and their individual children, unaware that under the scarcely ruffled surface of these lives the sands are moving. Each group of family occupies a floor of the house, in accordance to their position within the family. Poisonous rivalries between sisters-in-law, damaging secrets, and the implosion of the family business threaten to unravel bonds of kinship as sociable unrest brews in higher Indian society. This is an instant of turbulence, of inevitable and unstoppable change: The chasm between your generations, and between those who have and those who have not, hasn't been wider. The eldest grandchild, Supratik, compelled by his idealism, becomes dangerously involved with extremist politics activism - an action that further catalyzes the decay of the Ghosh home. Ambitious, abundant, and compassionate, The Lives of Others anatomizes the soul of a land as it unfolds a family history at the same time as it questions the type of politics action and the restrictions of empathy. It is a book of unflinching electric power and emotional force.
