After suffering her first heartbreak at the hands of a potential suitor, she is married and packed off to Bombay to live with her new husband. There she experiences womanhood and confronts her sexual curiosities, misgivings and desires, but continues to hope daringly and love fearlessly--refusing to live her life by the unrealistic standards society often sets on unconventional women. The young and vivacious Srilaa slowly but assuredly becomes the inimitable Srilaaji! And each time life starts crumbling around her, she manages to pick herself up ... and from the ashes of an uncertain life, a phoenix rises. Told with Shobhaa De's matchless blend of candour, humour and seductive earthiness, Srilaaji captures the soul of an indomitable spirit. A book that simmers and erupts at will, and presents us with one of the most unforgettable protagonists in years - the utterly delicious Srilaaji.--Provided by publisher. 500 $a Novel. 650 0 $a English literature $z India $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women $z India $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Arranged marriage $z India $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $z India $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Arranged marriage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815057 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007080 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 651 0 $a India $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020408.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FA02313E56B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
