HTML:<b>A TODAY SHOW #ReadWithJenna BOOK CLUB PICK!<br /> A <i>New York Times</i> Notable Book<br /> For readers of Tommy Orange, Yaa Gyasi, and Jhumpa Lahiri, an electrifying debut novel about three unforgettable characters who seek to rise</b><i>—</i>to the middle class, to political power, to fame in the movies<b><i>—</i></b>and find their lives entangled in the wake of a catastrophe in contemporary India.<br /> In this National Book Award Longlist honoree and “gripping thriller with compassionate social commentary” (<i>USA Today</i>), Jivan is a Muslim girl from the slums, determined to move up in life, who is accused of executing a terrorist attack on a train because of a careless comment on Facebook. PT Sir is an opportunistic gym teacher who hitches his aspirations to a right-wing political party, and finds that his own ascent becomes linked to Jivan's fall. Lovely<i>—</i>an irresistible outcast whose exuberant voice and dreams of glory fill the novel with warmth and hope and humor<i>—</i>has the alibi that can set Jivan free, but it will cost her everything she holds dear.<br /> Taut, symphonic, propulsive, and riveting from its opening lines, <i>A Burning</i> has the force of an epic while being so masterfully compressed it can be read in a single sitting. Majumdar writes with dazzling assurance at a breakneck pace on complex themes that read here as the components of a thriller: class, fate, corruption, justice, and what it feels like to face profound obstacles and yet nurture big dreams in a country spinning toward extremism. An extraordinary debut.
