Ladies Coupe by Anita Nair
Meet Akhilandeswari, Akhila for short: forty-five and single, an income-tax clerk, and a woman who has never been allowed to live her own life - always the daughter, the sister, the aunt, the provider.
A deeply serious, enjoyably lucid book about real terrors and joys, full of sensual and surprising details * Scotland on Sunday *
Nair conveys her protagonist's dilemmas with a freshness and charm.. Her writing [has] a sharpness and immediacy that lifts it above the commonplace * The Times *
Modern India's vivid, sticky beauty is evoked beautifully... Nair's compassion for her characters shines through every carefully chosen word * Sunday Tribune *
Anita Nair demonstrates convincingly that she is a writer committed to highlighting the travails and contradictions of women's lives. Her strength lies in bringing alive everyday thoughts, desires and doubts of these six ordinary women * Times Literary Supplement *
Nair is a powerful writer... She has created what must be one of the most important feminist novels to come out of South Asia * Daily Telegraph *
