The International Voices Book Group: A Burning by Megha Majumdar (India)
Calendar
About this event
*Please note that we will NOT be meeting in December. Have a great holiday season and see you in the new year!* The International Voices Book Group meets the second Wednesday of every month at 7 pm. For our November 11th meeting, we will discuss A Burning by Megha Majumdar. The book group is free and all are welcome! Books are available for purchase at Reads & Company with a 20% discount. About A Burning: Jivan is a Muslim girl from the slums, determined to move up in life, who is accused of executing a terrorist attack on a train because of a careless comment on Facebook. PT Sir is an opportunistic gym teacher who hitches his aspirations to a right-wing political party and finds that his own ascent becomes linked to Jivan's fall. Lovely—an irresistible outcast whose exuberant voice and dreams of glory fill the novel with warmth and hope and humor—has the alibi that can set Jivan free, but it will cost her everything she holds dear. Taut, symphonic, propulsive, and riveting from its opening lines, A Burning is an electrifying debut.
