City of Joy (French: La Cité de la joie) is a 1985 novel by Dominique Lapierre. It was adapted as a film by Roland Joffé in 1992. Calcutta is nicknamed "the City of Joy" after this novel, although the slum was based on an area in its twin city of Howrah.
Much fun fluff that turned out to be seriously positive and decent-human (OK, shifter, but still) series. Yeah, I more or less nommed the series in a run.
