Beautiful Thing: Inside the Secret World of Bombay's Dance Bars by Sonia Faleiro

5.0

This book was excellent. Well researched, evocative and deeply persona - it manages to unearth the harsh realities about living in Mumbai's twilight profession, uneasily straddling the night and the day and living dangerously in the moment. Faleiro's prose is wonderful, her dialogues capture the essence of the broken english and bastardised Hindi used in Mumbai without missing a beat. He characters dominate the underbelly of the city and yet come across as larger than life.
