Description
Unlike most Indian immigrants, Amara Malhotra is not destined to achieve the American Dream. Much to the anxiety of her parents – the spirited Biji and the doting Baba – Amara leads an unremarkable life. That is, until she marries Harvard-educated millionaire, Prashant Roy.
However, this fairy-tale isn’t meant to last, and even as Amara’s marriage collapses, she finds herself returning to the land of her birth, to the small city of Shimla.
If you are looking for an authentic One & a Half Wife of your favourite team then this is the place to be! We offer a wide range of sizes and styles of products for all sporting teams. Our One & a Half Wife products are made of 100% polyester and are designed to fit just right and last.
Here, in a borough grappling with questions of modernity, Amara is caught in a tug-of-war between old beliefs and new ones, between parents who favour obedience and new friends who encourage independent thought.
With powerful insights, One and a Half Wife traces the coming-of-age of multiple characters, while re-defining family, relationships and love in contemporary India.
COMMENTS:
“Meghna Pant’s writing sparkles with subtle wit, a tongue-in-cheek sense of humour and an acute power of observation. One and a Half wife is a welcome addition to diasporic writing from India.”
