A New York Times Bestseller
The riveting story of a heroic girl who fights for her belief that water
should be for everyone.
Minni lives in the poorest part of Mumbai, where access to water is
limited to a few hours a day and the communal taps have long lines.
Lately, though, even that access is threatened by severe water shortages
and thieves who are stealing this precious commodity--an act that Minni
accidentally witnesses one night. Meanwhile, in the high-rise building
where she just started to work, she discovers that water streams out of
every faucet and there's even a rooftop swimming pool. What Minni also
discovers there is one of the water mafia bosses. Now she must decide
whether to expose him and risk her job and maybe her life. How did
something as simple as access to water get so complicated?
