GIRLS AND THE CITY Paperback

"GIRLS AND THE CITY" by Manreet Sodhi Someshwar weaves a compelling narrative around the lives of three distinct women – the ambitious and naive Juhi Jha, the talented and tenacious single mother Leela Lakshmi, and the hotshot executive Reshma Talwar – as they navigate the complexities of life and work in a bustling Indian city. As they bond over shared experiences, secret pasts, challenging bosses, and disapproving landladies, they discover that the city, fueled by ambition and a real-estate boom, holds both promises and perils. The story escalates dramatically during a torrential Bangalore downpour when a murder occurs, turning one of them into a victim and the others into suspects, forcing them to confront their deepest fears and the "big little lies" they've used to conceal their secrets.
