Relation In Pursuance Of Books Rich Like Us

"Rich Like us" is the story of how the Emergency of 1975 ruined the democratic values that this country was founded upon. This is a story told through the lives of two women - the 'Cockney memsahib' Rose and the young, well-educated, unconventional Sonali. Loved to learn about life during the Indira Gandhi's emergency. A time promising wealth for the corrupt, but terrifying with sterilization for the poor and jail for the critical folks,(not mentioning the innocent masses of the post emergency days). Back to the story the emergency changes forever the lives of both women. Though truth and realities are a lot different. Still worth reading.

Evaluation Epithetical Books Rich Like Us

The story may disappoint you if you are looking for a novelist's point of view of "Emergency", as claimed by the promo of the book on its covers.But,the narrative, as seen from the eyes of the principal protagonist, Rose, of India is certainly interesting. The author has succeeded in maintaining the Britisher's angle to that part of the narrative.

I love books that examine the problems of being at the top -- even if you want to change, there's some difficulty. This book is super.

Not the first book you'd pick upAm interesting story into to lives of the upper class based on the emergence. The writing is not that exceptional though.

A new author for me - but I will look for other books by her. The book takes place during the time of the "Emergency" when Indira Ghandi declared martial law. Although I think of myself as an informed person, who keeps up with international news, I was amazed at how little I really had known about the abrogation of human rights and the restrictions of that time. The book follows a family including an English wife, her husband, her step-son, his wife and close family friends as they deal with

Heard so much about this book, but it just did not sing to me. Loved to learn about life during the Indira Gandhi's emergency in an intimate way - it was an education in history. The writing style itself was an impediment to my greater enjoyment - I cannot say exactly what but it somehow felt like a high school textbook prose.

Contentwise, it was a pretty good read though too caustic a POV. Howevere, stylistically a nightmare with an overload of similies and metaphors.
