Discussing “Behind the Beautiful Forever: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity” by Katherine Boo. The book describes a present-day slum of Mumbai, India, named Annawadi, and located near the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. It follows the interconnected lives of several residents, including a young trash picker, a female “slumlord,” and a college student. The author is an American woman who often visited Mumbai with her husband, who was from the area and had a job in the city. Pageturner discussions are open to any adult reader and books are available for check out at the Research and Information Desk. Masks are required to attend.
