From the bestselling author of The Bandit Queens
Some people just can't get along…
Malti Patel is absolutely fine. Concussed and bruised, perhaps, but fine — certainly fine enough not to need her daughter's soon-to-be-ex-husband, Nathan Whitlock, playing nurse in her home while she recovers from an attempted assault. Yet that is exactly the situation she finds herself in. Her doctor insists on seven days of in-home supervision, her daughter Kavya is away at grad school in India, and Nathan is far too much of a do-gooder to let her recuperate alone.
Seven days with Nathan: the man divorcing her daughter for all sorts of reasons — cultural misunderstandings, emotional walls, simmering hostility — most of them rooted in the baggage Kavya carries from her childhood.
Malti and Nathan want nothing to do with each other. But over the course of the week, as Malti confronts the shadows of her past and Nathan picks through the wreckage of his marriage, they realise they are the two people who know Kavya best — and the two who have hurt her so badly that she has walked away from them both.
Full of emotional depth and sparkling humour, Some People is a nuanced portrait of love, forgiveness and our timeless search for understanding and acceptance.
