HELLO GUYS!!
I am doing my first cover reveal and that too for the HarperCollins India.
I am glad to reveal the cover of Shweta Bachchan Nanda's debut novel "Paradise Towers".
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Dinesh
opens the door to the Kapoor flat to find Lata, the enchantress who
works at Mrs Aly Khan’s, carrying a hot case with freshly made gaajar ka
halwa. On the first floor,
the inquisitive Mrs Mody wipes the dust off her precious binoculars to
spy on the building’s security guard. The Singhs open the doors of their
SUV, their four boys creating a ruckus – they are the newcomers, the
outsiders. Through the peephole, the ever-watchful
Mrs Ranganekar observes their arrival. Welcome to Paradise Towers, an
apartment building in central Mumbai. Everyone here has a story to tell.
Or maybe they have stories to hide.
Shweta
Bachchan-Nanda’s quirky, intimate debut explores the intertwined lives
in this building – a forbidden romance, an elopement, the undercurrents
of tension in corridor interactions
and an explosive Diwali celebration. Shweta Bachchan-Nanda’s is a
dazzling voice that will draw you into the intoxicating, crazy world
that is
Paradise Towers.
Speaking about how she came to write
Paradise Towers, Shweta Bachchan-Nanda
said, ‘I grew up
with my grandfather who was a poet and a writer. Writing and reading was
always a very important part of our lives. I’ve been writing a diary
ever since I was a little girl, and wrote stories
that I never shared with anyone. Then, one day I just said, I am going
to take this plunge. I started writing a column for a newspaper in
Mumbai and it gave me a lot of confidence to go ahead and do this full
time, and that’s where
Paradise Towers comes from.’
Karan Johar, renowned filmmaker, further added, ‘Observant,
moving, hilarious and exceptionally astute... Paradise Towers is no slice of life...it's an entire loaf.
Shweta “builds” her debut novel with the ease of a literary veteran. Go find your Paradise between these pages!’
Shreya Punj, Assistant Editor, HarperCollins India, who acquired the book, said, ‘I fell in love with the story when I first read
it. Now, Paradise Towers is ready to meet its readers, and I
cannot wait for people to fall in love with this quirky, intimate world
Shweta has created. We’re proud to be publishing her debut – it’s fresh,
insightful and a story that will resonate with
everyone.’So, what are you waiting for? Grab your copy now.
