A Burning

A novel

Megha Majumdar

In contemporary India, three characters seek to rise in society and find their lives intertwined after a catastrophe. Jivan, a Muslim girl from the slums, is accused of a terrorist attack due to a Facebook comment. PT Sir, an opportunistic gym teacher, links his own success to Jivan's downfall. Lovely, an outcast with big dreams, has the alibi to set Jivan free but at a great cost. A Burning masterfully weaves complex themes such as class, corruption, and justice into a thrilling and impactful read.
