With subtlety, Aravind Adiga tells the story of an apartment building of home-owners offered the chance to sell their building to a developer and move onwards to find their new homes and/or dreams. But one man wants to stay. Slowly, his neighbours pressure him to change his mind. None of this is a spoiler. It's all on the back of the book in the blurb. What's surprising is how these people change in such slow, normal, understandable ways that their behaviour almost appears completely normal. Scary how people can turn on each other. I enjoyed this book. It's a subtle story of change and what it has to offer and what price one has to pay for it.
