A Burning

 

A Burning / Megha Majumdar, read by a cast, 293 pgs.

Jivan is falsely accused of being involved in a train explosion.  She is arrested but knows justice will prevail. She had been teaching her actress friend, Lovely to speak and read English. Her gym teacher PT Sir is willing to testify on her behalf.  But as her case gains recognition on social media, Lovely and PT Sir's situations change.  They must decide if they want to go against their own good fortune to stand up for Jivan.  Would it even matter if they do?  Will it change the outcome?  This is an interesting contemporary story that shows how quickly things can change and how hard it can be to do the right thing.  Wonderfully read by a full cast that really bring the characters to life.
