Great Book From Indian Author

Ratika Kapur is an Indian Author. She lives in New Delhi with her husband and son. Her first, Overwinter was longlisted for the Man Asian Literary Prize.  Overwinter investigates the cold hard internalizations of family betrayal and hurt.

Ratika Kapur’s second novel, The Private Life of Mrs. Sharma is out in December 2016. One sign of a great novel is an ending that seems shocking when you read it but entirely inevitable when you look back over the events of the book. 

The Indian writer Ratika Kapur’s "The Private Life of Mrs. Sharma" delivers this punch both emotionally and in terms of its plot. It should feature prominently on awards lists in 2016. The Private Life of Mrs. Sharma is a sharp-eyed examination of the clashing of tradition and modernity, from a dramatic new voice in Indian fiction. 

The tension between tradition and modernity in present-day India is at the center of the book, whose narrator, "Renuka Sharma", is a dutiful mother and wife who is holding the fort in Delhi while her husband tries to make the family’s fortune in Dubai. An attractive and industrious 37-year-old, Mrs. Sharma works as a receptionist in a doctor’s clinic, in addition to taking care of her difficult teenage son, Bobby, and her aging parents-in-law. The family lives in a one-bedroom apartment, which Mrs. Sharma hopes to someday own...

Ratika Kapur's novel is enriched by intricate characterization, poignant writing and a protagonist who renders a voice to the contemporary Indian woman. Foremost amongst Ratika's strengths is her use of language, lyrical and at times brutal, guaranteed to shake the reader from her sense of complacency.
