WHO WANTS TO MARRY A MAMMA’S BOY (PB)

Who Wants to Marry a Mamma’s
Boy and Other Stories is an engaging collection of short stories by columnist
and award-winning writer Manjula Pal. She strings together the emotional
journeys of a diverse set of women at different stages in their life. The realism
in her stories is unmistakable: whether it is a teenager facing the dilemma
over right and wrong but eventually succumbing to social pressure, or the
dilemma of an ambitious woman caught between a demanding career and an even
more demanding boyfriend, or the socio-cultural dynamics that affect
relationships, or how guilt can make or break a person. Manjula takes a deep
dive into several unexplored areas of life and reaffirms that happiness is
all about striking a balance between commitment and compromise.
