Custody

De: Manju Kapur

Narrado por: Nazneen Madan

An unforgettable novel about what happens when a marriage collapses. Shagun is a woman of unassailable social standing, married to a man chosen for her - a rising executive. Her lover is her husband’s boss. She asks for a divorce, and all hell breaks loose. Locked in a venomous legal battle for custody of their eight-year-old son and two-year-old daughter, Shagun and Raman begin a journey that will have unforetold consequences. Set against the backdrop of upper-middle-class South Delhi, Custody is both a searing indictment of India’s judicial system and an intimate portrait of a failing marriage and a family.

Great escapist reading. Reminded me of my time living in India. I could taste the food described, hear the 'auties' squabbling, and feel the sensory experience of a country I love.
