Description

A New York Times Editors' Choice • A New Yorker Best Book of the Year So Far • A Most Anticipated Book of 2026: The Washington Post, Vulture, Lit Hub, The Millions, Chicago Review of Books

In a sprawling complex in Delhi, the sons and daughters of SP Chopra, one of India's political architects, live together vying for influence in a family shaped by the great man's legacy.

Sachin Chopra leaves for America, with his bride Gita following not long after, as the newlyweds are eager to forge their own lives beyond the pressures of the family compound. Yet Delhi remains an inescapable force, one that keeps pulling them back, even as Gita is menaced by Sachin's predatory uncle, Laxman. Meanwhile, Vibha, Laxman's sister, tries to keep the peace and the reputation of the family intact even as she wrestles with her own exile.

As India erupts in violence and long-buried secrets come to light, the embattled Chopras must reckon with the cost of power, the weight of tradition and the shifting nature of love and allegiance. Equal parts brilliant family saga and piercing political drama, The Complex is a virtuosic novel of revenge and redemption, ambition and undoing, loyalty and love, by a lauded voice in contemporary fiction.

A magisterial performance. . . Mahajan is a confident, ambitious and increasingly important writer ― New York Times Book Review

An anguished, intelligent study of ambition decoupled from principles, and of the complacency and fear that allows it to thrive ― Wall Street Journal
