At forty, Nayantara is blindsided by her celebrity ex-husband’s second marriage to a hot, young influencer on the heels of a divorce that leaves her broke, single and discarded by the society she once thrived in. Desperate to prove she’s still relevant, Nayan sets out to rebuild her PR business chasing power, money and visibility with a hunger she didn’t know she possessed. Among the clients she sets out to restitute are an aging movie star terrified of irrelevance, a politician in urgent need of image rescue, and a socialite with small-town roots trying to reinvent herself as a cultural tastemaker. In the middle of this, Nayan is pulled between two men. One offers steadiness and clarity. The other is charm, glitter and temptation. Buffeted by the contradictions of ambition and love, right and wrong, Mumbai's relentless hustle and Landour's quieter pull, she must decide what really matters in a world obsessed with appearances.

 

Review

‘Shunali Khullar Shroff captures the absurdities and aspirations of modern society with wit and precision. The Wrong Way Home is equal parts satire and heart, and her characters leap off the page because they feel so familiar, almost like people you know. What stands out most is how effortlessly she balances humour with insight, making this a read that entertains while also nudging you to reflect.’- Sonali Bendre, Actor

‘It’s not easy to like a shallow manipulative social climber and yet the funny, smart protagonist Nayantara is disarmingly real. Shunali has served up a shot of limoncello — light, delectable and leaving you pleasantly buzzed.' - Namita Devidayal, Writer, Journalist

‘In today’s India, there are more divorces than ever but for so many cultural and personal reasons, few voices that share their stories truthfully and vulnerably. Here's where fiction can step in—and The Wrong Way Home does just that.’- Divia Thani, Global Editorial Director, Conde Nast Traveller

Book Description


A smart, witty and deliciously subversive novel about modern womanhood and and the messy, magnificent business of starting over
