Almost Single

In a city where old is meeting new, daughters are surprising mothers, and love is breaking all the rules, this heartfelt and wickedly funny cross-cultural debut novel introduces a smart, irreverent young woman searching for independence and matrimony in a culture bound by tradition.

Between elegant soirees and the occasional mortifying mishap, Aisha Bhatia s job as guest relations manager at New Delhi s five-star Grand Orchid Hotel is intermittently fabulous she certainly knows her wines and cheeses. But despite a life filled with good friends and first-class travel accommodations, the fact is that not many twenty-nine-year-old women in India are single as Aisha s mother never fails to remind her. Somewhere a clock is ticking, though as far as Aisha is concerned, it can be cheerfully drowned out by laughter over a champagne brunch. Yet when the handsomely chiseled Karan Verma arrives from New York, Aisha experiences an unexpected attitude adjustment. Karan is everything she s ever wanted that is, if she actually knew what she wanted. Is it possible that she s about to find out?

Savvy, sexy, and unforgettable, Almost Singletackles the loving, exasperating tug-of-war between mothers and daughters, traditional customs and contemporary romance and what happens when a modern Indian woman is caught in the middle.
