Boys Don't Cry by Meghna Pant
Love is complex, the rest is fairly simple
When Maneka Pataudi is arrested as the prime suspect for the murder of her ex-husband, she reveals a chilling tale of marital abuse and neglect.
But is her confession the truth or a lie? Is she telling the story as a victim or a perpetrator? And, is it better for women to kill for love or be killed for it?
Based on a true story (mostly), Boys Don't Cry is a gripping, compelling and courageous novel that takes you behind the closed doors of a modern Indian marriage.
