Publisher's Summary

A thrillingly original story of the adventures of a small band of feral cats in Delhi who communicate by whisker mind-link and face an unprecedented threat to their tribe's survival; for listeners of Life of Pi and Philip Pullman.

In the labyrinthine alleys and ruins of Nizamuddin, an old neighbourhood in Delhi, India, lives a small band of cats: Miao, the clan elder, a wise, grave Siamese; Katar, loved by his followers and feared by his enemies; Hulo, the great warrior tom; Beraal, the beautiful queen, swift and deadly when challenged; Southpaw, the kitten whose curiosity can always be counted on to get him into trouble....

Unfettered and wild, these and the other members of the tribe fear no one, go where they will, and do as they please. Until one day a terrified orange-coloured kitten with monsoon-green eyes and remarkable powers lands in their midst - the first in a series of extraordinary events that threatens to annihilate them and everything they hold dear.

The Wildings is a gorgeous evocation of Delhi, a love paean to cats and a rich, often savage tale of survival and conquering one's fears.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

This book should be made as a motion picture! actually it was... just mix X men, Avengers, Twilight, Top Gun and few more blockbusters! it's absolutely enjoyable and can be based on humans in an alternate universe. There were some very smart metaphors used to show social divides, casteism, politics etc. Kudos to the author Nilanjana for the creativity to bring all of it together. it's not just cats, but dogs, birds, rodents, ants and other big animals. I can't stop but applaud the narrator Tania for rendering such amazing voice modulation for so many characters. Full masala stuff and I finished the book within a day. give it a go if you want something interesting but not too taxing.
