If You Are Afraid of Heights

"Drawing the reader deep into the uncharted zone between fantasy and reality, If You Are Afraid of Heights is a breathtaking odyssey across the landscape of a changing urban India. It follows neglected lives, trapped in despair, as they take off on their private flights of hope. And then watches them, with compassion and grace, as they descend to the reassuring depths of their secrets and their lives." (jacket)
