Book Review: 'The Tiger’s Share' Explores Delhi's Complexities

Imagine a story about rich and poor families in Delhi, India.

This book, 'The Tiger's Share,' uses the city's pollution as a symbol for problems like money and power.

The story follows Tara, who comes from a family in the upscale area of Hauz Khas, and her dealings with her family's inheritance and with a friend from a wealthy family in Golf Links.

The author shows how the city's air is dirty, but also about the social divide, and family conflicts.

The author also critiques social norms, like the idea of what a 'good Muslim' is.

Overall, the book is like a close look at the conflicts and differences in modern Delhi.
