A novel of the Bombay Mill Strike of 1982

There's a lot going on at Tenduwadi Chawl. Vinod's friends are practising for the big cricket match between Building No. 1 and Building No. 2. Radha's friends are arguing over two Bollywood heroes. Everyone seems to be fighting, falling in love and keeping secrets.

Little wonder, then, that it takes the children of Tenduwadi Chawl some time to realize that their world is changing. The Bombay Mill Strike has begun and the air is thick with suspicion. Old acquaintances are turning into strangers. Then, one evening, Vinod follows the Building No. 2 cricket team to Star Mill Compound and stumbles upon an ugly mystery.

Award-winning author Shabnam Minwalla's novel is both gripping and layered, and paints a vivid picture of a time of the city's transformation.

The
Chronicles of Courage series looks at moments and movements in India after independence that have shaped the life of the nation.

Shabnam Minwalla is a mother of three teenagers, an ardent saree-shopper and a Mumbai-holic. She has spent most of her life with words-editing her school magazine, working as a journalist with the Times of India and writing non-fiction. What she most enjoys, though, is writing fiction.

Many of her books for children and young adults-including When Jiya Met Urmila, Saira Zariwala is Afraid, Murder at Daisy Apartments and The Six Spellmakers of Dorabji Street-have won prestigious awards. Her non-fiction book on the Mumbai Neighbourhood of Colaba is very popular.

Shabnam was a student at St Xavier's College in Mumbai and got her MA in Journalism at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. She was a Chevening Scholar at Wolfson College in Cambridge.
