Great story. Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Heartbreaking because of it's raw truth about reality of life for most of the population in India - extreme poverty, child labor and slavery, prostitution, hunger, mental and physical abuse, disease. And heartwarming, because despite all that, there is still kindness and a sense of community

I read half of this in paperback and listened to the rest on audio. One word about audio book - I think it would have been so much better if the narrator wasn't an American trying his best to do an Indian accent. this was a great opportunity to diversify narrators and actually get an Indian to read this story, but it was missed.
