***
Tell A Thousand Lies: A corrupt politician plays with the lives of a teen Goddess and her loved ones in this fast-paced novel - part thriller, part Bollywood romance - set in India.
The Temple Is Not My Father: Ensnared by a tradition hundreds of years old, a woman fights for her daughter’s happiness.
28 Years A Bachelor: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that an Indian woman in possession of a son with an engineering degree, must be in want of a daughter-in-law with an outsized dowry.
Which can be a problem when said son is vehemently opposed to dowry. He is also opposed to city living, to meddlesome neighbours, to wacky grandfathers and to caustic grandmothers. But when he’s blessed with all of the above, what’s man to do?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such a beautiful collection.... Awesome writing and so much emotion conveyed. Also an interesting insight to a culture so different than mine but similar in some ways. Definitely a recommended read.
