A high-stakes tour-de-force from Vikas Swarup, the internationally bestselling author of Q & A, the book that inspired one of the most memorable films of the twenty-first century: hit Hollywood, multiple-Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire.
Devi is a fighter. Growing up in the slums of Delhi, she has learnt that survival comes at a cost – and naturally, that means she’s made a few enemies along the way.
Now she’s being held captive, her life up for sale in an online auction, where the highest bidder will determine her fate.
With her existence hanging in the balance, Devi proceeds to give her captor ‘a confession to beat all confessions’ – as over the course of a single night, Devi unveils the secrets of her seven extraordinary lives.
Devi is the ultimate survivor – a girl from the gutters who dares to rewrite her own destiny. But will she survive the longest night of her life?
