_____________
A sharply-observed tale of social aspiration, social anxiety and how to survive it in a rapidly changing new India.
Anil Kumar Jha has worked hard all his life to provide for his family. But now after thirty years, Anil has sold his company, and using the subsequent windfall has installed his wife Bindu and their wayward son Rupak in Gurgaon, one of Delhi's glossiest neighbourhoods.
But while sudden, fabulous wealth can buy you a lot of things - from designer saris to crystal-encrusted sofas to life-size reproductions of the Sistine Chapel - it can't buy the Jhas happiness. In fact, life is about to get a whole lot more complicated.
'Laugh-out-loud funny and yet deeply touching' Deborah Moggach, author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Recenzii
Ultra charming
Uproarious, beady-eyed social comedy with a big heart
A wicked satirist and social critic . The stuff of Amartya Sen's worst nightmares and Tom Wolfe's sweetest dreams
Elegantly and humorously exposes the complexities of love and money . expands our understanding of home, beyond the places where we think we belong
A complete joy from start to finish
I so loved this novel - laugh-out-loud funny and yet deeply touching. Like a blingy version of A Diary of a Nobody it demonstrates that whatever our nationality or wealth we're all prey to fathomless insecurity
The funniest novel to come out of India in years, Diksha Basu's Delhi Riche is a timely snapshot of Delhi families on the way up, down and sideways
Wry and witty with understated pearls of joy in one deliciously observed tale
A comedy of manners for the globalized 21st century, Delhi Riche is equal parts heart and laugh by a writer who is a new star.
A fun and heartfelt comedy of manners, which looks at the ups and downs of upward mobility, the things you gain and what you leave behind
It's haves and have-mores in this hilarious yet heartfelt novel about an Indian family struggling to acclimate to their newfound wealth, while also competing with their wealthier neighbours
A charming satire.What Kevin Kwan did for rich people problems, Diksha Basu does for trying-to-be-rich-people problems
I almost fell out of bed laughing as I read Diksha Basu's sharply observed satire. The Windfall is such a delicious, addictive treat, as I flipped to the last page I found myself already wanting much, much MORE
A master of the intimate detail, Basu can apparently enter any perspective at will. The novel has a gentleness that belies its furious subject: money
With a knowing wink Diksha Basu updates the comedy of manners, giving us a Delhi backdrop and plenty of second acts in 21st century lives - a thoroughly enjoyable read
