About The Book

Heaven is a thirty-year-old slum hidden between brand-new high-rise apartment buildings and technology incubators in contemporary Bangalore. In this tight-knit community five girls on the cusp of womanhood-a politically driven graffiti artist; a transgender Christian convert; a blind girl who loves to dance; and the queer daughter of a hijabi union leader-forge an unbreakable bond.When the local government threatens to demolish their tin shacks in order to build a shopping mall the girls and their mothers refuse to be erased. Together they wage war on the bulldozers sent to bury their homes and ultimately on the city that wishes that families like them would remain hidden forever.Elegant poetic and vibrant A Peoples History of Heaven takes a clear-eyed look at adversity and geography and dazzles in its depiction of love and female friendship.
