Fascinating biographies of two fabled neighbourhoods that define the Maximum City. Rich in detail and full of delightful anecdotes and urban legends, these are essential reads for every lover of the great metropolis, whether a resident or a visitor.

‘Shabnam Minwalla is an amazing writer. So much comes through in her sentences— detail, description, research. She knows this place, and how!…[Colaba: The Diamond at the Tip of Mumbai] has something for every reader—history and legend for the passing tourist, and surprising discoveries for the veteran Colabawala.’ — The Week

‘[Shivaji Park: Dadar 28—History, Places, People is] an intimate and compelling portrait…Gokhale combines serious historicization with the lived experience of a veteran resident. This book [is] a guided tour through the heart of one of Mumbai’s oldest neighbourhoods by a truly gifted storyteller. ’—The Book Review
