His arrival coincides with the unexpected resignation of the founder and aging patriarch of the Company--its simple name belying its vast holdings across industry and entertainment, and the family's national renown. On the same day, Sita, Devraj's youngest daughter, disappears--refusing to marry the man her father wants for her. Now, Radha and Gargi, Sita's older sisters, are given the Company--and a brutal struggle for power begins. Set against the backdrop of the anti-corruption riots that spread across India in 2011 and 2012, We That Are Young is brilliant in its fierce, incandescent storytelling and the energy of its prose. It tells a deeply insightful tale of India today, the pace of life in one of the world's fastest growing economies, the clash of youth and age, and the ever-present specter of death. But more than that, it is a novel about the human heart--and its inevitable breaking point"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a New Delhi (India) $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $z New Delhi $z New Delhi $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family-owned business enterprises $z India $v Fiction. 941 $a 9 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702022930.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240202021805.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012011331.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728015807.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806023943.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110074433.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006121146.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20180926011306.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20180918010449.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=262794DAACE311E8BF0AC41597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
