Hushed Voices

"Hushed Voices" by Munmun Ghosh makes compelling reading as it delves sensitively in to the lives of Mumbai’s migrants. It is the story of the innermost desires that brings them to this ‘city of dreams.’ It is a story of the anguishes they suffer and the optimism that enables them to hold on to their dreams and survive. They are part of the fabric that is Mumbai, yet somehow they are just living in its periphery.
