Muskan has a great life: a creative job in the big city, supportive friends, and no trouble finding first dates. So what if her colleagues don't know she exists, or her friends won't stop lecturing her about the three-year 'situationship' she's in? It's not like she's starving.
But something is wrong, and while the people around her seem to have all the right words, nobody can articulate what they want from each other. As obstacles mount and the easy-going persona Muskan has built starts to crumble, she is forced to face a question that's been quietly burning at the back of her mind: Why did her family move to America so abruptly?
Warm, funny, and sharply observed, Ghost Chilli is a story about trying to find honest relationships in an isolating world, and the weight we unwittingly carry.

A rich coming-of-age story full of punchy and astute observations about everyday relationships
A kaleidoscopically detailed novel of twenty-first century life, full of human comedy, which finds richness in the quotidian, ephemeral, and overlooked. Both deeply moving and wonderful company
Nikkitha Bakshani's debut novel is by turns witty, compassionate, and toe-curling. An incredibly astute and propulsive writing of modern relationships, familial, platonic and romantic, Ghost Chilli depicts with honesty and humour the gulf between what we actually say, and what we'd like to, and the shadow our history casts over how we want to be.
Exquisite, forensic and tender. Muskan is a heroine like no other, a connoisseur of appetites, self and how we survive each other. This book gently brûléed my heart
Ghost Chilli is enjoyably bittersweet, a black comedy that conjures the turbulent twenties in all their isolation and shame
'A kaleidoscopically detailed novel of twenty-first century life, full of human comedy' LUCIE ELVEN
Muskan has a good life: a creative job in the big city, supportive friends, no trouble finding first dates. Does it matter that her colleagues don't know she exists, or that her friends won't stop lecturing her about her three-year situationship? It's not like she's starving.
But something still seems wrong. As obstacles mount and Muskan's carefully crafted easy-going persona starts to crumble, she is forced to face a question that's been quietly burning at the back of her mind: Why did her family move to America so abruptly?
Warm, funny, and sharply observed, Ghost Chilli is a story about trying to find honest relationships in an isolating world, and the weight we unwittingly carry.
