Blurb
Shyamoli Verma’s timing is wrong.
In her late twenties, she finds that her marriage is irrevocably broken. She comes back to her parents
with her pre-teen son and an infant daughter, only to find that she is unwelcome.
Independent and brash, she decides to bring up her children and also get a divorce without any support from friends and family.
Written with wry self deprecating humour, this is the story of a divorced woman's quest for love and security.

Meet the
Author
Ritu Lalit is a corporate slave turned fiction writer. A voracious reader, she is a gold medalist
post graduate in English Literature who spent most of her childhood in remote areas in the northeastern
parts of India, lying on grassy hillsides daydreaming and reading books.
She loves spinning tales, but no longer has her captive audience as her children grew up and flew away from the coop. Her three dogs don’t pay much attention. She began writing in the vain hope that the characters she creates will listen to her, even do her bidding.
She has five books out in the market, A Bowlful of Butterflies, HILAWI, Chakra, Chronicles of the Witch Way and Wrong, for the Right Reasons. Her fifth novel, His Father’s Mistress is coming soon.
