DESCRIPTION:A Burning by Megha MajumdarJivan is a Muslim girl from the slu
 ms, determined to move up in life, who is accused of executing a terrorist
  attack on a train because of a careless comment on Facebook. PT Sir is an
  opportunistic gym teacher who hitches his aspirations to a right-wing pol
 itical party, and finds that his own ascent becomes linked to Jivan's
  fall. Lovely--an irresistible outcast whose exuberant voice and dreams of
  glory fill the novel with warmth and hope and humor--has the alibi that c
 an set Jivan free, but it will cost her everything she holds dear.Taut, sy
 mphonic, propulsive, and riveting from its opening lines, A Burning has th
 e force of an epic while being so masterfully compressed it can be read in
  a single sitting. Majumdar writes with dazzling assurance at a breakneck 
 pace on complex themes that read here as the components of a thriller: cla
 ss, fate, corruption, justice, and what it feels like to face profound obs
 tacles and yet nurture big dreams in a country spinning toward extremism. 
 An extraordinary debut.Books are available for pick up July 1
