Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A brilliant, blistering, blackly comic debut novel that reveals a contemporary India rarely seen in fiction, a land of superstition and poverty that also teems with entrepreneurs. An entry for the Man Booker Prize 2008, it's already an international publishing sensation. For fans of Hari Kunzru and Kiran Desai.

Publisher's description:

Balram Halwai is the White Tiger - the smartest boy in his village. His family is too poor for him to afford for him to finish school and he has to work in a teashop, breaking coals and wiping tables. But Balram gets his break when a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him to live in Delhi.
