Uproarious, beady-eyed social comedy with a big heart' Mail on Sunday

'A complete joy from start to finish' Kamila Shamsie _____________ A sharply-observed tale of social aspiration, social anxiety and how to survive it in a rapidly changing new India. Anil Kumar Jha has worked hard all his life to provide for his family. But now after thirty years, Anil has sold his company, and using the subsequent windfall has installed his wife Bindu and their wayward son Rupak in Gurgaon, one of Delhi's glossiest neighbourhoods.

But while sudden, fabulous wealth can buy you a lot of things - from designer saris to crystal-encrusted sofas to life-size reproductions of the Sistine Chapel - it can't buy the Jhas happiness. In fact, life is about to get a whole lot more complicated.

'Laugh-out-loud funny and yet deeply touching' Deborah Moggach, author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
