A proposito di questo titolo
'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
Recensioni della critica
Guha offers a wide, chaotic and morally ambiguous portrait of contemporary Delhi society . . . Its breadth and ambition - with even the most minor characters fleshed out, each bookshop or park or neighbourhood visited an opportunity for Guha to thicken the text with some historical, political context - has echoes of Zadie Smith's early maximalist style
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)
The Tiger's Share is a stylish and engaging tragi-comedy of manners, set against the backdrop of a collapsing environment. Keshava Guha is an astute and insightful observer of contemporary India (Amitav Ghosh, author of THE IBIS TRILOGY)
The Tiger's Share is 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)
Brilliantly rendered . . . Guha poignantly balances individual lives and threats of political and ecological disaster
Exciting young minds are a joy forever, and Guha is true superstar . . . destined for greatness
A novel of ideas crossed with a juicy family saga, this state-of-the-nation snapshot of contemporary India wittily anatomises the battle for resources - environmental, financial, social - in a clash between ambitious daughters and complacent sons
It is testament to Guha's adroit, understated authorial touch that we are never given conclusive answers to complex questions about patriotism, nationalism and how India's identity is changing, only a range of responses acted out through his characters
