Working as a receptionist and committed to finding a place for her family in the New Indian Dream of air-conditioned malls and high paid jobs at multi-nationals, life is going as planned until the day she strikes up a conversation with an uncommonly self-possessed stranger at a Metro station. Because while Mrs Sharma may espouse traditional values, India is changing all around her, and it wouldn't be the end of the world if she came out of her shell a little, would it? With equal doses of humour and pathos, 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. 521 1 $a Adult. $b Brodart. 650 0 $a Receptionists $z Delhi $z Delhi $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women heads of households $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mistresses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Extramarital relations $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Delhi (India) $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Domestic fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20170217010053.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BC837CFAF4DE11E6B5721789DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
