Thanks Pawan! Do check it out if you're a fan of fast paced thrillers :)
Nectar in a Sieve by Kamala Markandaya. Like the film Pather Panchali this novel portrays fully realized, impoverished characters in a way that is loving and is never condescending or sentimentalized.
I found Nectar in a Sieve ( a second hand copy) in a tiny bookstore. It was sad, gut wrenching, but beautifully written. Parts of the story are still vivid in my mind.

Ever wonder why Arundhati Roy ended up a 'one book wonder'?
