Age of Vice
by Deepti Kapoor
Praise For This Book:
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK "Dazzling...For days, I was torn between gorging on Age of Vice or rationing out the chapters to make them last. Finally free from the book's grip, now all I want to do is get others hooked.... This is a rare case of a book bounding as high as its hype." -Ron Charles, The Washington Post

"A luxe thriller, set in New Delhi, that rides the line between commercial and literary fiction so adroitly ...The book has echoes of Mario Puzo's "The Godfather," in terms of its mobbed-up apex predators, and Vikas Swarup's "Q & A," the 2005 novel that was the basis for Danny Boyle's film "Slumdog Millionaire....It's easy to see why attention has been paid. As a storyteller, Kapoor is a natural. "-The New York Times

"A complex mandala of a novel, Age of Vice contains stories within stories...Kapoor's writing is muscular, pithy and highly visual, and the sort fans have come to expect from crime heavyweights like Vikram Chandra and Suketu Mehta, but her sensibility- watchful, probing, contemplative-remains uniquely her own."-Chicago Review of Books

"Impossible to put down; Kapoor is the real thing." -Library Journal, STARRED review

"Riveting...Kapoor paints a mesmerizing picture of violence and decadence, of struggle and hope, of corruption and redemption...[I]mpossible to put down."-BookPage, STARRED review

"Kapoor spins a dizzying ride. Weaving the backstories of Ajay, Neha, and Sunny together, Kapoor's frenetic and colorful novel highlights the new global pecking order... But as this gripping tale shows, even the weakest deserve one last gasp of dignity." -Booklist, STARRED review
