Duty and Desire: A Novel of Modern India
Thursday, January 19, 2012, at 7 p.m.
Atlanta author Anju Gattani speaks and signs her debut novel Duty and Desire, about a privileged young woman who discovers that the glittering facade of India's super-wealthy families conceals a corrupted core.
The Book
Sheetal Prasad has it all: youth, beauty, wealth, and education. But when this modern Indian woman surrenders love for honor and marries into India's most glamorous "royal family," these very advantages turn against her.
Meet the Dhanrajs—a powerful family bound together by a web of lies where infidelity, greed, secrets, and hidden identities lurk beneath the lush tapestry. The Dhanrajs have plenty to hide and will do whatever is necessary to mask the truth from the world.
As Sheetal peels back the layers of deceit in the glittering world of Indian megawealth—and struggles to control her own fate—she is threatened by the rage she harbors and the blazes of passion she ignites.
