Six call centre employees working a night shift in Gurgaon carry the story of Chetan Bhagat's second novel, told across the hours of a single shift.
Bhagat writes in plain, conversational English built around dialogue, which is part of why the book reached readers who do not usually pick up fiction. The narrative moves between the agents at the headset and the pressures waiting for them outside it: family expectation, money, ambition and relationships that refuse to stay simple. At 257 pages the pace stays quick and the chapters stay short, so the book can be finished over a few sittings.
How it reads:
• Conversational English that suits readers newer to novels in English
• 257 pages from Rupa Publications India in paperback
• A single-night structure that keeps chapters brief
• A workplace setting drawn from India's late-night outsourcing industry
Suited to college readers, commuters and anyone starting out with popular Indian fiction, published by Rupa Publications India and available at Boipoka.
