"New Delhi, 3 a.m. A speeding Mercedes jumps the curb and in the blink of an eye, five people are dead. It's a rich man's car, but when the dust settles there is no rich man at all, just a shell-shocked servant who cannot explain the strange series of events that led to this crime. Nor can he foresee the dark drama that is about to unfold. Deftly shifting through time and perspective in contemporary India, Age of Vice is an epic, action-packed story propelled by the seductive wealth, startling corruption, and bloodthirsty violence of the Wadia family -- loved by some, loathed by others, feared by all"--Amazon.com
Deepti Kapoor Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Deepti Kapoor je autorka hlboko ponorená do živej a často chaotickej tapisérie indického mestského života. Jej novinárske zázemie jej dáva bystrý zmysel pre detail a schopnosť odhaliť skryté príbehy v rušných metropolách. Svojimi prózami skúma zložitosť identity, ambícií a hľadania spolupatričnosti v spoločnosti, ktorá sa rýchlo mení. Tvorba Kapoorovej sa vyznačuje žiarivými opismi a jej prenikavým zobrazením ľudského stavu na dynamickom pozadí.
