"Manju, 23, is a central figure in “Behind the Beautiful Forevers”, a true story that reviewers have hailed as an instant classic and a ground-breaking account of modern poverty.
Written by American journalist Katherine Boo, the book paints an intimate and often shocking picture of a community where rats are fried for dinner, suicide is common, sex is a commodity and one woman drowns her child."
