The fiercest wars are fought between siblings.

Tara, a successful Delhi lawyer, is everything her younger brother isn't: dedicated, independent, thriving. When their beloved father retires, he summons them to a meeting. But what he has to say threatens to tear the family apart.

Tara's friend Lila has it all: a great job, a lovely home, a beautiful family. But when Lila's father dies unexpectedly, her brother wastes no time in claiming what he thinks is his.

Together, Tara and Lila are forced to confront the challenge that their ambition poses to patriarchal Delhi society. Set against a backdrop of ecological collapse and political unrest, The Tiger's Share is both a family and a state-of-the-nation novel unlike anything else in contemporary Indian fiction.

 

Review

""The Tiger's Share is a stylish and engaging tragi-comedy of manners, set against the backdrop of a collapsing environment. Keshava Guha is an astute and insightful observer of contemporary India."" – Amitav Ghosh "A brilliant conceit - far wider in its implications than it first seems - and a waspishly witty eye cast on the war between sisters and brothers in polluted, exclusive, upper-crust Delhi.“ – Francis Spufford ""The Tiger's Share is an extraordinary new kind of Indian novel in English, as attuned to life in contemporary New Delhi as to the choices ecological collapse eventually will force upon us all. It's also the story of two unforgettable families, told with a controlled emotional precision that only intensifies the power of the novel's shocking conclusion."" – Nell Freudenberger
