Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity by Katherine Boo

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

Extremely thorough and beautifully written- the fact that it is written like narrative fiction really helped me get into it, but it almost made me forget sometimes that this was a real story of real people. And remembering that is sobering, because these people go through so much throughout the course of the book. I’m glad I read it, and it’s a great book, but not an easy read.
