The Lives of Others, written by Neel Mukherjee, is a suspenseful novel set in contemporary India. The story revolves around three characters whose lives intersect in unexpected ways: Supratik, a young revolutionary; Naxal, a government informant; and Nilima, a woman caught between loyalty and survival. Against the backdrop of political unrest and surveillance, Mukherjee explores themes of power, betrayal, and the impact of surveillance on individual lives.
