Description
A gripping novel about the human cost of progress in modern India. In 21st century Mumbai, property kingpin Dharmen Shah offers to buy and tear down a weathered tower block, making way for luxury apartments, but not everyone wants to leave. As tensions rise among the residents, one man stands in Shah's way: Masterji, a retired schoolteacher who has lived in the building for a lifetime. As the demolition deadline looms, Masterji's neighbours - friends turned enemies, acquaintances become co-conspirators - may stop at nothing to score their payday. But will they be able to overcome their differences and work together to save their home? This tense and thought-provoking novel explores the complexities of community, power, and identity in a rapidly changing world. With its sharp insights into modern Indian society, "The Last Man in Tower" is a compelling read for anyone interested in contemporary fiction.
