A brilliant, witty observational novel of match-making and mischief, set in contemporary Delhi. For any fans of Jane Austen's EMMA or Kevin Kwan's CRAZY RICH ASIANS
Ania Khurana is beautiful, clever and in need of entertainment. She's wrapped Delhi society around her little finger, and now her creativity requires a new vista. So she finds love for her spinster aunt, rescuing her from a life watching Masterchef.
Hugely satisfied with her first success as a matchmaker, Ania selects her friend Dimple for her next quest. But good intentions can go awry, and when a handsome suitor arrives from America, Ania discovers that when you aim to please the human heart, things seldom go to plan.
'Clever, rich-in-insight, and with a discomfiting wit and impeccable prose, POLITE SOCIETY uncovers some of the best blessings of Austen. Dear reader, this book is delicious!' Jade Chang, author of THE WANGS V THE WORLD
'A bitingly funny version of Austen's EMMA. Could have been titled CRAZY RICH INDIANS' South China Morning Post
With biting wit, this send-up of high society deflates social strata while bringing tenderness and romance to its comedy of manners
