Anita Chong at McClelland & Stewart has pre-empted Canadian rights to Reema Patel‘s debut novel, tentatively titled JUSTICE FOR ALL. Pitched as Slumdog Millionaire meets The God of Small Things, set in Mumbai, in which a former street child’s quest for redemption collides with her instincts to survive, after her quiet life is overturned by the arrival of a naive, overly entitled intern at the human rights NGO where she works. Deal arranged by Stephanie Sinclair.
