Book description
The Secret History meets Daddy's Girls as four old schoolfriends
reunite after fifteen years in this sizzling blockbuster.
You can't run away from your past…
Anita, Zeba, Bubbles and Sam have a friendship that spans 20 years - a
friendship born out of their years at a private girls' school in Delhi
in the early Nineties. Beautiful, intelligent and secretive, they were
the top clique; the girls that everyone wanted to impress - until the
arrival of a newcomer to the school. 15-year-old Lily D'Souza is
beautiful, gifted and acerbic and instantly threatens their superiority.
Now, Anita, Sam and Bubbles live in London. Bubbles is the pampered but
bored wife of a billionaire, Anita is a top journalist working for the
BBC, whilst Sam tries hard to be a trophy wife for her corporate lawyer
husband. Zeba remained in India, and now lives a life of unimaginable
luxury as the world's reigning Bollywood queen.
Called back to India for a reunion by their beloved school principal
Mrs Lamb, the women must confront a secret that has haunted their adult
lives. Lily's body was found on the night of their school prom and, for
twenty years, the open verdict has shielded the fact that they may have
had a hand in her death.
But as they reunite in Delhi to find out the truth about what really
happened that night, will their friendship stand the strain? Or are some
things better left unsaid…? Praise for Jaishree Misra:
