Set in the fifteen lanes that comprise Mumbai's red light district Fifteen Lanes compellingly explores class, race and gender through the alternating voices of two teenage protagonists. Noor lives in a Mumbai brothel with her mother and siblings and is immensely grateful for the chance to go to school, hoping it will help her escape being sold into the sex trade. Grace is the Canadian daughter of the CEO of one of Mumbai's largest banks. When the two eventually meet at a NGO support centre for women and children, their lives and perspectives are irrevocably changed.
