Jivan is a Muslim girl from the slums, determined to move up in life, who is accused of a crime because of a careless comment on Facebook. PT Sir is an opportunistic gym teacher who hitches his aspirations to a political movement and finds that his own ascent becomes linked to Jivan's fall. Lovely, an irresistible outcast whose exuberant voice and dreams of glory fill the novel with warmth, hope and humor, has the alibi that can set Jivan free, but it will cost her everything she holds dear. Symphonic, propulsive and riveting from its opening lines, A Burning has the force of an epic while being so masterfully compressed it can be read in a single sitting. Majumdar writes with dazzling assurance on complex themes of class, fate, corruption, justice and what it feels like to face profound obstacles and yet nurture big dreams in a country spinning toward extremism. An extraordinary debut. Hardcover; 2020, Knopf.
