to develop as a multi-part drama series, with all proceeds from the option going towards social enterprises in the author’s native New Delhi.
Set in contemporary New Delhi, the multi-strand narrative concerns an Indian-American single mother and her autistic teenage son, whose comfortable middle-class lives are turned upside down by a police investigation; a crime spree of slum women found stuffed in trash bags, faces and bodies disfigured by acid. Although a work of fiction, the novel tackles endemic problems in India: violence against women, slum poverty, and police corruption.
Dramatic rights were acquired by Endemol Shine India from agent Ed Wilson at Johnson & Alcock, working with Sidharth Jain at Mumbai-based agency The Story Ink. Writer and activist Biswas is currently based in Singapore. All proceeds from the book go towards the educational charity Project WHY, and the Chhanv foundation, which helps acid attack survivors.
