About The City of Joy by Dominique Lapierre
Set in a slum in Calcutta, Dominique Lapierre’s 1985 novel brings together the experiences of people confronting poverty and difficult social conditions. Its central figures include Paul Lambert, a French Catholic priest devoted to helping those in need, and Max Loeb, an American doctor drawn to Lambert’s work.
Their stories intersect with that of Hasari Pal and his family, who migrate to Calcutta to earn a living. Readers interested in fiction about social conditions in India, aid to people in poverty, and life in Calcutta will find those subjects at the heart of the novel.
