Beskrivelse
In a digitized city, sometime in the near future, as an obsession with purity escalates, walls come up dividing and confining communities. Behind the walls high civic order prevails. In the forgotten spaces between, where garbage gathers and disease festers, Shalini must search for Leila, the daughter she lost one tragic summer sixteen years ago. Skirting surveillance systems and thuggish Repeaters, Shalinionce wealthy, with perhaps a wayward past; now a misfit, pushed to the marginsis propelled only by her search. What follows is a story of longing, faith, and most of all, loss. With its unflinching gaze on class, privilege, and the choices that today confront usand its startling, almost prophetic vision of the worldLeila announces Prayaag Akbar as a remarkable new voice in Indian fiction.
