À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Ania Khurana is beautiful, clever and in need of entertainment. She's wrapped Delhi society around her little finger, and now her creativity requires a new vista. So she finds love for her spinster aunt, rescuing her from a life watching Masterchef.

Hugely satisfied with her first success as a matchmaker, Ania selects her friend Dimple for her next quest. But good intentions can go awry, and when a handsome suitor arrives from America, Ania discovers that when you aim to please the human heart, things seldom go to plan.


'Clever, rich-in-insight, and with a discomfiting wit and impeccable prose, POLITE SOCIETY uncovers some of the best blessings of Austen. Dear reader, this book is delicious!' Jade Chang, author of THE WANGS V THE WORLD

'A bitingly funny version of Austen's EMMA. Could have been titled CRAZY RICH INDIANS' South China Morning Post
