4 books by Anuja Chauhan
Requirements: ePUB | MOBI readers, 2.5 MB
Overview: All the 4 books, to date, by Anuja Chauhan, perhaps the most promising young Indian author to emerge in recent years. While technically chic-lit with plenty of Hinglish dialogues, Chauhan’s books are surprisingly well-written, often laugh-out-loud-funny and generally good, light-hearted, fun reads. Here’s hoping for a lot more from her in the coming years — more great writing, perhaps with a lighter dose of the chic-lit!
Genre: Fiction/Indian/Contemporary
1. The Zoya Factor
When the younger players in India’s cricket team find out that advertising executive Zoya Singh Solanki was born at the very moment India won the world cup back in 1983, they are intrigued. When eating breakfast with her is regularly followed by victories on the field, they are impressed. They decide she is a lucky charm. Nearly all of them, anyway..
2. Battle for Bittora
Twenty-five-year-old Jinni lives in Mumbai, works in a hip animation studio and is perfectly happy with her carefree and independent existence. Until her bossy grandmother shows up and announces that it is Jinni’s ‘duty’ to drop everything and come and contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from their sleepy hometown, Bittora. Of course Jinni swears she won’t. But she soon ends up swathed in cotton saris and frumpy blouses, battling prickly heat, corruption and accusations of nymphomania as candidate Sarojini Pande, a daughter of the illustrious Pande dynasty of Pavit Pradesh. And if life isn’t fun enough already, her main opposition turns out to be Bittora ex-royal, Zain Altaf Khan an irritatingly idealistic though undeniably lustworthy individual with whom Jinni shares a complicated history… Enlivened by Chauhan s characteristic brand of wicked humour and sexy romanticism, this is a rollicking new tale of young India.
3. Those Pricey Thakur Girls
In a sprawling bungalow on New Delhi’s posh Hailey Road, Justice Laxmi Narayan Thakur and his wife Mamta spend their days watching anxiously over their five beautiful (but troublesome) alphabetically named daughters. Anjini, married but childless and an incorrigible flirt; Binodini, very worried about her children’s hissa in the family property; Chandralekha, who eloped with a foreigner on the eve of her wedding; Eshwari, who is just a little too popular at Modern School Barakhamba Road; and the Judge’s favourite (though fathers shouldn’t have favourites): the quietly fiery Debjani, champion of all the stray animals on Hailey Road, who reads the English news on DD and clashes constantly with investigative journalist Dylan Singh Shekhawat, he of shining professional credentials but tarnished personal reputation, crushingly dismissive of her employer’s ‘state sponsored propaganda’ but always seeking her out with half-sarcastic, half-intrigued dark eyes.
4.The House that BJ Built
I’ll make my sisters squirm like well-salted earthworms. I won’t sell. Even my jutti wont sell. And if I die na, then even my gosht won’t sell! The late Binodini Thakur had been very clear that she would never agree to sell her hissa in her Bauji’s big old house on Hailey Road. And her daughter Bonu, is determined to honor her mothers wishes.
But what to do about her four pushy aunts who are insisting she sell? One is bald and stingy, one is jobless and manless, one needs the money to ‘save the nation’ and one is stepmother to Bonus childhood crush-brilliant young Bollywood director Samar Vir Singh, who promised BJ upon his deathbed that he would get the house sold, divvy the money equally and end all the bickering within the family.
The first word baby Bonu ever spoke was ‘Balls’ and indeed, she is ballsy, bullshit-intolerant, brave and beautiful. But is she strong enough to weather emotional blackmail by the spadefull? Not to mention shady builders, wily politicians, spies, lies and the knee-buckling hotness of Samars intense eyes? Sharply observed and pulse-quickeningly romantic, this is Anuja Chauhan writing at her sparkling best!
