The fiercest wars are fought between siblings.
Tara, a successful Delhi lawyer, is everything her younger brother isn't: dedicated, independent, thriving. When their beloved father retires, he summons them to a meeting. But what he has to say threatens to tear the family apart. Tara's friend Lila has it all: a great job, a lovely home, a beautiful family.
But when Lila's father dies unexpectedly, her brother wastes no time in claiming what he thinks is his. Together, Tara and Lila are forced to confront the challenge that their ambition poses to patriarchal Delhi society. Set against a backdrop of ecological collapse and political unrest, The Tiger's Share is both a family and a state-of-the-nation novel.
The Tiger's Share, Keshava Guha's incisive new novel unravels sibling rivalries set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing India. Guha's storytelling transforms personal conflicts into a lens for examining societal upheavals – from shifting family loyalties to the pressures of urban ambition.
