ABOUT THE BOOK

When overachieving New Yorker Radhika Anand is dumped by Siddhant, her boyfriend of two years, she is devastated. With the threat of loneliness looming large, she turns to the only woman she can expect empathy from-her grandmother: her beloved Naani, whose own legendary love story in the 1960s has been recorded in an old diary.

Radhika abruptly decides to relocate to Bombay-to the comfort of her Naani’s home and the veritable circus of the Arranged Marriage market. But if Radhika is serious about finding a suitable match, she must pay no attention to Zain Rajan, the sexy ‘bad boy’ next door.

A big-hearted novel about love and family, this book has it all: from witty banter and clever observations to a Big Fat Indian Wedding!

Talking about the book, Riva Razdan says ‘This is a heartfelt novel for hard-working brown girls who deserve to be in love. This book will make you feel seen, it will make you laugh and it will show you all the different kinds of partners that will come your way in the hunger games of the Indian marriage market. I hope, after reading The Naani Diaries, you’re able to choose the person who makes you rise in love, not fall in it.’

Swati Daftuar, Executive Editor at HarperCollins India, adds ‘Utterly charming, big-hearted and so satisfying – The Naani Diaries is exactly what you need to curl up with this holiday season. It’s been such a pleasure to read and work on this book – a little like taking a trip to a world full of sweetness and charm, witty banter and clever quips, spirited heroines and delicious meet-cutes. This is the best kind of love story – a combination of the old-fashioned and the modern, the dreamer and the realist.’
