She lives in Delhi..A riveting account . . . a necessary book by one of India's most distinctive voicesA bell-clear exposé of corporate greed and governmental malfeasance that should-if there is any justice in the world-provoke a furious backlash in the name of human dignityInformed, impassioned, at times strident, and fleet and fascinating when describing life on the ground among the rebels, Roy's prose will both rouse and ruffle . . . she ultimately points to a global system in which all we're all crucially involved and implicated
