Resolute Readers Book Club: "Behind the Beautiful Forevers"

"Behind the Beautiful Forevers" plunges readers into an Indian slum in the shadow of gleaming hotels near Mumbai's airport, revealing a complex subculture where poverty does not extinguish aspiration.

Join the Fertile Public Library to discuss "Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity," a non-fiction book by Katherine Boo.

The book chronicles the lives of residents in Annawadi, a slum near the Mumbai airport, offering an intimate portrait of poverty, inequality, and resilience in modern India. Drawing from three years of immersive reporting, Boo explores the impacts of globalization, corruption, and social dynamics through the stories of several families.

All are welcome, even if you haven't read "Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity." If you have any questions, email us at ZmVydGlsZSB8IGxhcmwgISBvcmc=.
