The Jhas are moving up. For the past thirty years, their┬аlives have been defined by cramped spaces and gossipy neighbors. But when Mr.┬аJha┬аcomes into an enormous sum of moneyтАФthe result of an unexpectedly successful internet ventureтАФhe moves his reluctant wife from their housing complex in East Delhi to the super-rich side of town,┬аultimately┬аforcing them, and their son, to reckon with who they are and what really matters to them.┬а Hilarious and wise,┬аThe Windfall illuminates with warmth and heart the precariousness of social status, the fragility of pride, and, above all, the human drive to build and share a home. Even the rich, it turns out, need to belong somewhere.
