Those Pricey Thakur Girls (PAPERBACK)

It’s been witty and sparkling, playful and merry, it is like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women run in a blender and served fresh, it is life in pre liberalized India described sharply but nostalgic affection’.

These are the some lines taken from the book “Those Pricey Thakur Gilrs”.

This book is written by Anuja Chauhan in the Praise for Those Pricey Thakur Girls.

Anuja Chauhan is at her witty best. The dialogues are hilarious and are certain to make you chortle. The cases are established, well enough for you to decide whether to love or scorn them. Nothing about the story is half-baked. A great deal of people sees the book appealing because of the nostalgia evokes.

In a sprawling bungalow on New Delhi's posh Hailey Road, Justice Laxmi Narayan Thakur and his wife Mamta spend their days watching anxiously over their five beautiful ( but troublesome) alphabetically named daughters. Anjini, married but an incorrigible flirt. Binodini, very worried about her children's hissa in the family property. Chandrakanta, who eloped with a foreigner on the eve of her wedding, Eshwari who is just a little too popular at Modern School,

Barakhamba Road and the Judge's favourite (though fathers shouldn't have favourites) the quietly fiery Debjani, champion of all the stray animals on Hailey Road, who reads the English news on DD and clashes constantly with crusading journalist Dylan Singh Shekhawat, he of shining professional credentials but tarnished personal reputation, crushingly dismissive of her 'state-sponsored propaganda', but always seeking her out with half-sarcastic, half-intrigued dark eyes. Spot on funny and toe-curlingly sexy, Those PriceyThakur Girls is rom-com specialist Anuja Chauhan writing at her sparkling best.
