Publisher's summary

A politically driven graffiti artist. A transgender Christian convert. A blind girl who loves to dance. A queer daughter of a hijabi union leader. These are some of the young women whom listeners will come to love in the phenomenal debut novel A People's History of Heaven.

Welcome to Heaven, a 30-year-old slum hidden between brand-new high-rise apartment buildings and technology incubators in contemporary Bangalore. In Heaven, you will come to know a community made up almost entirely of women. They live hand to mouth, constantly struggling against the city government's plans to bulldoze their homes and build yet more glass high-rises.

This is a story about geography, history and strength, about love and friendship, about fighting for the people and places we love - even if no one else knows they exist.
