Many Fish to Fry

Reena Rajan leads a busy life as a part-time businesswoman and full-time housewife, when a fish and a private detective arrive, unannounced, on her Delhi doorstep.

""Many slices of life fried to a perfect crisp Abha Iyengar's unmistakable eye for detail and the absurd makes for a quirky and layered novel. Many Fish to Fry is an intricate, well-paced and humorous look at marriages and lives around us."" Nandita Bose, author of 'Tread Softly' and 'The Perfume of Promise'
