The Lives of Others by Neel Mukherjee

The Lives of Others by Neel Mukherjee

Set in 1960s Calcutta, the novel follows three generations of a wealthy, fracturing joint family whose declining paper business runs parallel to the era's growing Naxalite revolutionary movement, as one grandson abandons the family's comfortable life to join the violent rural insurgency.

Mukherjee interweaves the family's interior conflicts — sibling rivalry, generational resentment, the corrosive effects of unequal inheritance — with the wider political upheaval reshaping Bengal, giving the domestic saga genuine historical weight and moral complexity.

A Booker Prize-shortlisted novel, a richly detailed portrait of a fracturing Bengali family.
