Battle For Bittora: The Story Of India's Most Passionate Lok Sabha Contest (National Bestseller)
Meer oor hierdie e-boek
'Fun. Fearless. Fabulous.' COSMOPOLITAN
Twenty-five-year-old Jinni lives in Mumbai, works in a hip animation studio and is perfectly happy with her carefree life. Until her bossy grandmother shows up and announces that it is Jinni's 'duty' to drop everything and contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from their sleepy hometown, Bittora.
Jinni swears she won't, but soon ends up swathed in cotton saris and frumpy blouses, battling prickly heat, corruption and accusations of nymphomania as candidate Sarojini Pande, a daughter of the illustrious Pande dynasty of Pavit Pradesh. And if life isn't fun enough already, her main opposition turns out to be Bittora ex-royal Zain Altaf Khan -- an irritatingly idealistic though undeniably lustworthy individual with whom Jinni shares a complicated history.
Enlivened by Anuja Chauhan's characteristic brand of wicked humour and sexy romanticism, this is a rollicking new tale of young India.
