Based on the life of the middle-class intellectuals in Calcutta, Voices in the City is an unforgettable story of a bohemian brother and his two sisters caught in the cross-currents of changing social values. In many ways the story reflects a vivid picture of India's social transition — a phase in which the older elements are not altogether dead, and the emergent ones not fully evolved.
