Abdul, an enterprising teenager, sees a fortune beyond counting in the recyclable garbage that richer people throw away. Meanwhile Asha, a woman of formidable ambition, has identified a shadier route to the middle class. With a little luck, her beautiful daughter, Annawadis most-everything girl, might become its first female college graduate. And even the poorest children, like the young thief Kalu, feel themselves inching closer to their dreams. But then Abdul is falsely accused in a shocking tragedy; terror and global recession rock the city; and suppressed tensions over religion, caste, sex, power, and economic envy turn brutal.With intelligence, humor, and deep insight into what connects people to one another in an era of tumultuous change, Behind the Beautiful Forevers, based on years of uncompromising reporting,carries the reader headlong into one of the twenty-first centurys hidden worlds-and into the hearts of families impossible to forget.WINNER OF: The PEN Nonfiction Award  The Los Angeles Times Book Prize  The American Academy of Arts and Letters Award  The New York Public Librarys Helen Bernstein Book AwardNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New Yorker  People  Entertainment Weekly  The Wall Street Journal  The Boston Globe  The Economist  Financial Times  Foreign Policy  The Seattle Times  The Nation  St. Louis Post-Dispatch  The Denver Post  Minneapolis Star Tribune  The Week  Kansas City Star  Slate  Publishers Weekly\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWinner of the National Book Award | The PEN\/John Kenneth Galbraith Award | The Los Angeles Times Book Prize | The American Academy of Arts and Letters Award | The New York Public Library\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49675230216432,"sku":"NEW1400067553","price":11.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/behind-the-beautiful-forevers-life-death-and-hope-in-a-mu","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
