Priya marries a very handsome Indian settled in America. From Delhi, she moves to L.A.; Los Angeles. She starts moving into the circles of Hollywood, intermingles with the stars of Hollywood. At the same time, at home, she acts as a typical obedient Hindu daughter-in-law, respecting everybody, keeping the house clean, cooking, fulfilling all her in-laws wishes. When her mother-in-law suggests her to take up a job, she is surprised. More surprised would be her in-laws and husband if they would ever come to know the exact nature of her job. Priya joins the stream and becomes a page three journalist; very soon she is the most popular, much sought after and envied by many. Though entertaining, this novel has an edge. The main character of the novel is so lively and enthusiastic that you will love her
Kavita Daswani
‘[Kavita Daswani’s] culture-clash dilemmas ring heartbreakingly true’—Entertainment Weekly Anil Raichand was once the kind of man you might see in the pages of your favourite society magazine—the handsome high-flying industrialist with the rich father, the Ferrari, the clubs, the cigars and the secret peccadilloes. At twenty-six he was society’s most sought-after bachelor. Educated, charismatic and heir to his father’s wealth, Anil decided he needed two things: to become a business tycoon in his own right by any means and the perfect wife to help him get there. But, nearly fifty, Anil looks back at a devastated business empire, a pulverized marriage, an estranged daughter and embittered parents. He pushed himself to amass fabulous wealth but found everything crumbling around him. And now he is compelled to confront the cost of his success even as he desperately holds on to the memory of a woman he once turned his back on. Unfolding over four decades—from Anil’s boyhood in Singapore, his foray into the Bombay marriage market, falling in love with the wrong woman in Hong Kong, to his meteoric rise and fall in Dubai—Kingpin is a dazzling, high-octane story that will entertain and enlighten you.
