Mesmerizing, eye-opening, and heart-wrenching, Majumdar reminds us that separation by class and racial inequality is a world-wide concern when a young girl from the slums (pick a country, any country) is falsely accused of terrorism. Craftily told through her experiences and two others who have been touched by her life, the story puts both ambition and the power, or loss of power in a realistic perspective.
