The Sunday Times Travel Book of the Year 2011

Meet Leela: nineteen, charismatic and fearlessly outspoken. With her sharp wit and stubborn optimism, she is the best paid bar dancer on Bombay''s notorious Mira Road. Leela has a ''husband'' (who is already married), a few lovers whose names she can''t remember, an insufferable mother camping out in her flat and an adored best friend, Priya - the most beautiful woman she has ever seen.

But when the dance bars are banned, Leela''s proud independence faces its greatest test. In a city where everyone is certain that someone, somewhere, is worse off than them, Leela fights to survive - and win.
