What to expect
For all outward appearances, Nina is the perfect Indian daughter. But underneath, she feels like a fraud.
In one day, she caught her secret (white) boyfriend having an affair, she walked out of her lucrative career as a lawyer to become an artist, and to cap it all off, a disturbing encounter with a spiritual guru has her questioning her faith.
Unable to face shattering her parents’ ambitions of the perfect arranged marriage, she finally agrees to be matched.
But as she dons a suit and pretends to go to work every day, the lies are beginning to stack up. Surely something’s got to give?
Praise for Preethi Nair:
‘Packs a powerful punch’ Guardian
‘A genuinely moving novel’ Daily Express
‘A carefully woven tale that’s exceedingly good’ Company
‘A little gem of fiction’ New Woman
