We That Are Young by Preti Taneja EPUB

A stunning debut novel, a modern-day King Lear set in contemporary India: the tale of a battle for power within a turbulent family, for status within a nation in a constant state of transformation, and for the love and respect of a father disappearing into dementia

Jivan Singh, the bastard scion of the Devraj family, returns to his New Delhi childhood home at the age of 23 after 15 years in the United States. His arrival coincides with the unexpected resignation of the founder and aging patriarch of the Company - its simple name belying its vast holdings across industry and entertainment, and the family's national renown. On the same day, Sita, Devraj's youngest daughter, disappears - refusing to marry the man her father wants for her. Now, Radha and Gargi, Sita's older sisters, are given the Company - and a brutal struggle for power begins.

Set against the backdrop of the anti-corruption protests that spread across India in 2011 and 2012, We That Are Young is brilliant in its fierce, incandescent storytelling and the energy of its prose. It tells a deeply insightful tale of India today, the pace of life in one of the world's fastest growing economies, the clash of youth and age, and the ever-present specter of death. But more than that, it is a novel about the human heart - and its inevitable breaking point.
