A New World by Amit Chaudhuri

A New World

Amit Chaudhuri

A light read about an Indian tugged between Calcutta and America. Very detailed and descriptive. Might disappoint if you're looking for something more plot driven.

Extract
In the new, as yet unfinished brickwork of India's new economic order, Jayojit had laid an early and important cornerstone.
