Author: Deepti Kapoor
I read about “Age of Vice” in the New York Times where it was described as a combination of commercial and literary fiction, that will undoubtedly move a lot of units. It is set in the bustling city of New Delhi and follows the lives of 3 main characters Ajay, Neda and Sunny. Neda is an upper-class, educated woman journalist who is the connecting tissue between Sunny Wadia, the son of a corrupt and wealthy businessman and Ajay who is the faithful manservant.
In developing these three main characters, Deepti chronicles an epic and high-intensity drama that has every kind of excess, from parties to political rallies and some stomach churning poverty as well. Deepti knows how to spin a good yarn and from the moment you pick up the book, you will not want to put it down.
The NY Times aptly sums it up as having “echoes of Mario Puzo’s ‘The Godfather’, in terms of its mobbed-up apex predators” and I couldn’t agree more.
