City of Joy is a true account of the inhabitants of Calcutta's worst slums. The author weaves together the stories of a family who moved from the drought-starved countryside in search of a better life, a young doctor from the United States, and numereous others to paint a rich, textured picture of unbelievable suffering and yet, incredible humanity.

This book made me stop over and over to contemplate how lucky I was to have been born where and when I was - in relative wealth, comfort, and freedom beyond the wildest dreams of the majority of the world's population.

Go ahead and see the movie if you want too, but not until well after you've read and absorbed the book.
