Hailing from humble origins, Anil Kumar Jha had worked hard and was ready to live well. Selling his tech start-up for millions, he moves his family from a flat in modest Mayur Palli to a mansion in affluent Gurgaon.
Plagued by the thought that his Mayur Palli neighbours will find his changed lifestyle ostentatious, plagued by the thought that his wealthy new neighbours won't find his lifestyle ostentatious enough, and plagued by his beautiful new sofa with crystal buttons that poke him every time he sits down, Mr Jha finds that living well is more complicated than he'd first suspected.
An instantly addictive, laugh-out-loud read from a major new talent, Delhi Riche is a warmly witty and thoroughly modern comedy of manners about family, friendship and what it means to belong in a rapidly changing India.
