Title : All and Nothing
Author : Raksha Bharadia
Publisher: Rupa & Co. (2010)About The Book:
Tina, a talented artist, is desperately in love with the successful careerist Aditya. But he cannot let go of his past… their marriage sours and Tina teeters on the edge.
Through her we meet the others. Kriya is a fashion designer, chic and successful with a sordid secret. Poorvi is a rich man's wife, a feminist, yet deeply troubled by having mothered just daughters. Upasna is a willing victim of domestic violence. Manas is a struggling copy writer, besotted with Gayathri – but plagued.
Each beneath the façade of harmony walks a tightrope as their sense of self disintegrates a little each day.
Then Tina summons her friends…
Speak, my friends. Tell it from the beginning. And listen.
