There's a generation (so I'm told) that thinks that sex was invented in the 1960s and that it was also round about then that women started taking control of their own destinies. Obviously, this is a generation that never talked to their grandmothers and, more assuredly, never talked to their maiden aunts. Those aunts could have told them a tale or two.

|comment= What an enticing review! Indeed, it sounds like a superior form of 'chick-lit' I can't wait to get my hands on it!

|comment= Thanks, Lesley, for such an insightful and thoughtful review. Have just read Coronation Talkies and your observations are perfect. I hadn't expected to enjoy it (not chicklit, I thundered!) but my wife insisted (we have an Indian colonial connection)and I couldn't put it down. Really funny in parts as well and it would make a perfect movie, too: a colonial Bollywood thing with Meera Syal as Mrs Banerjee, I reckon. Anyway, congrats on the review and huge thanks to the author for such a superior piece of fiction. Laurence (and Amelia) Freeman. (The copy we bought has a different cover to the one on your site?)

|comment= I adored this book and the author has captured the landscapes of an Indian hillstation so perfectly. I felt as if I was in Shimla while reading it and was cross when it ended as Mrs Banerjee had taken me over and I wanted more of her intrigue! It is very amusing too, and the patterns of Indian speech are captured to a T. Well done to this author. 10 out of 10.
