Book Reviews of The City of Joy
Book Review: "... a heartrendering tale of the real heros of Calcutta, a tale of the indomitable spirit of humankind to triumph..."
Summary: 4 Stars
"...The 'City of Joy' shall be remembered as the best account of the life of the people in Calcutta's slums; of the city's never-say-die attitude. The book presents a very emotional account of the daily lives of the poor in the city, and makes the reader fall in love with these little heros, who daily fight the battle of life to mete out a subsistence existence. The book is an eye-opener to the people who have never faced the adversities of life. The author has done a brilliant job in portraying the poor with compassion and empathy. A true masterpiece..."
