Beschreibung

‘Preethi packs a powerful punch in this book about family, forgiveness and the power of truth.’ Guardian

When her husband uproots their family from India to a small house in London, Nalini trusts he knows best. But when he abandons them for his secret family, Nalini is left battling for her family’s survival.

Her maternal instincts in overdrive, Nalini protects her children by telling them he’s passed away. Yet for her teenage daughter, Maya, her heritage is as lost to her as her father is.

Nalini starts a business from her kitchen and prays that the smells of home will lure her daughter back to her roots, while offering financial stability.

But the truth threatens to surface, and Nalini fears that her lies will break her already fragile family for good…

Über den Autor

"Preethi Nair is a one-woman whirlwind"- HarperCollins.Preethi worked as a management consultant and gave it up to follow her dream and write her first book, Gypsy Masala.

Working under the alias of Pru, Preethi managed to gain substantial coverage and after two years of a roller-coaster journey, she signed a three-book deal with HarperCollins. She won an Asian Women of Achievement Award for her endeavours and "Pru" was also shortlisted as Publicist of the Year for the PPC awards.Having never acted before (not even at school), Preethi went on to write, act and produce "Sari: The Whole Five Yards", a sell-out one-woman show in the West End. Preethi adapted this play into the novel, "Unravelling", which has been optioned for television. Preethi is also visiting professor at various business schools, teaching modules on creativity for personal leadership. See: [...]
