MAKING HER DEBUT
The Bollywood Breakup Agency, by Naina Gupta, is the first novel in a trilogy following the life of Neela Solanki. The synopsis says: "Twenty-six-year-old Neela Solanki's family is fed up with her rude refusal to either work or marry any of the eminently suitable men put before her, so they cut her off without a penny. Unable to make her designer ends meet, Neela stumbles upon a unique business idea - a breakup agency that helps 'de-arrange' unsavoury Indian engagements. However, Neela's brash attitude to her culture soon comes back to haunt her, when she finds love in the most unusual of places." The Bollywood Breakup Agency is out as an ebook in November and in paperback early in 2012. You can read an interview with Naina at the International Chick Lit Month blog.
