The hope factory

Lavanya Sankaran

a novel

"Anand is a Bangalore success story: thriving, well married, rich. At least that's how he appears. But if his little factory is to grow, he needs land and money, and, in the new India, neither of these is easy to find. Kamala, Anand's family's maid, lives perilously close to the edge of disaster. She and her clever teenage son have almost nothing, and their small hopes for self-betterment depend on the contentment of Anand's wife, a woman to whom whims come easily. But Kamala's son keeps bad company, and Anand's marriage is in trouble. The murky world where crime and land and politics meet is a dangerous place for a good man, particularly one on whom the well-being of so many depends"--From publisher description
