Awww Vasu 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 Main bi sochu, aisi bi kya secret novel likhi hai, the ISBN searches just came out invariably empty no matter what source or website!!! Abi it's making sense!!! 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

And she's definitely writing one, because when I was trying so desperately for Google to miracle produce a novel she'd written in 2012, it kept showing me snippets of her going on the record to say she was working on one which she'd expected to finish in 2011, but then had postponed for reasons. I suppose the political drama has really absorbed her in general, but she's also one of those people who took years to pen down even the first novel.

On note of Seth (yes, yes! Get Equal Music!!!) Have you heard he's writing A Suitable Girl? So A Suitable Boy has become such a hugely acclaimed work over the years that his publishing house finally managed to get him sign a contract somewhere back in 2010, to start this new one, clearly a mirror work version? I'm sort of glad it's not a "sequel" per se ... hopefully it will live up to the first one.

And Anuradha Roy - I haven't heard of, but will look her up in my library catalogue too. That confusion is a story to tell, though! Maybe you should send in a fan mail to Arundhati Roy and tell her that is how honest to God you want to see her new novel on shelves already 😆 I think even for someone with her reputation of being unaffected, this would be something to mark a dent 😆
