Multicultural Chick-Lit
In a city where old is meeting new, daughters are surprising mothers, and love is breaking all the rules, this heartfelt and wickedly funny cross-cultural debut novel introduces a smart, irreverent young woman searching for independence and matrimony in a culture bound by tradition.
Between elegant soirees and the occasional mortifying mishap, Aisha Bhatiaβs job as guest relations manager at New Delhiβs five-star Grand Orchid Hotel is intermittently fabulousβshe certainly knows her wines and cheeses. But despite a life filled with good friends and first-class travel accommodations, the fact is that not many twenty-nine-year-old women in India are singleβas Aishaβs mother never fails to remind her. Somewhere a clock is ticking, though as far as Aisha is concerned, it can be cheerfully drowned out by laughter over a champagne brunch. Yet when the handsomely chiseled Karan Verma arrives from New York, Aisha experiences an unexpected attitude adjustment. Karan is everything sheβs ever wantedβ¦that is, if she actually knew what she wanted. Is it possible that sheβs about to find out?
Savvy, sexy, and unforgettable, Almost Single tackles the loving, exasperating tug-of- war between mothers and daughters, traditional customs and contemporary romanceβand what happens when a modern Indian woman is caught in the middle.
