About this ebook

Amazon bestselling books in Asian Fiction
*** 
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?

Author

Rasana Atreya

Rasana Atreya’s debut novel, Tell A Thousand Lies, was shortlisted for the Tibor Jones South Asia Prize. This novel was taught at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque’s English 479. Glam magazine (UK) calls this “one of our five favourite tales from India.”  The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque’s publication Emerging South Asian Women Writers: Essays and Interviews (From Antiquity to Modernity Book 1) by Feroza Jussawalla and Deborah Fillerup Weagel has a writeup on Rasana. After working in IT for several years, Rasana made a successful transition to writing fiction. Rasana was one of India’s self-publishing pioneers. She did this after declining a trade-publishing contract. Amazon flew her to New Delhi for the launch of the Kindle. Rasana lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and two children. Her son is in college, and daughter is grumpily finishing high school over Zoom.  Her novels, all standalones, are loosely tied together in a series, Tales From The Deccan Plateau: * Tell A Thousand Lies     (March 2012) * Talking Is Wasted Breath (Previously 28 Years A Bachelor. December 2020) * Daughters Inherit Silence (February 2021) * The Water Wives (Launching in 2022) * The Temple Is Not My Father (Expanding novella into a novel. Launching in 2022) * Tell A Lie, Beget A Daughter (Launching in 2022) Sign up https://RasanaAtreya.com for news about launches and promotions.

    Such 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.
