Recenzii
Ultra charming
Uproarious, beady-eyed social comedy with a big heart
A wicked satirist and social critic . The stuff of Amartya Sen's worst nightmares and Tom Wolfe's sweetest dreams
Elegantly and humorously exposes the complexities of love and money . expands our understanding of home, beyond the places where we think we belong
A complete joy from start to finish
I so loved this novel - laugh-out-loud funny and yet deeply touching. Like a blingy version of A Diary of a Nobody it demonstrates that whatever our nationality or wealth we're all prey to fathomless insecurity
The funniest novel to come out of India in years, Diksha Basu's Delhi Riche is a timely snapshot of Delhi families on the way up, down and sideways
Wry and witty with understated pearls of joy in one deliciously observed tale
A comedy of manners for the globalized 21st century, Delhi Riche is equal parts heart and laugh by a writer who is a new star.
A fun and heartfelt comedy of manners, which looks at the ups and downs of upward mobility, the things you gain and what you leave behind
It's haves and have-mores in this hilarious yet heartfelt novel about an Indian family struggling to acclimate to their newfound wealth, while also competing with their wealthier neighbours
A charming satire.What Kevin Kwan did for rich people problems, Diksha Basu does for trying-to-be-rich-people problems
I almost fell out of bed laughing as I read Diksha Basu's sharply observed satire. The Windfall is such a delicious, addictive treat, as I flipped to the last page I found myself already wanting much, much MORE
A master of the intimate detail, Basu can apparently enter any perspective at will. The novel has a gentleness that belies its furious subject: money
With a knowing wink Diksha Basu updates the comedy of manners, giving us a Delhi backdrop and plenty of second acts in 21st century lives - a thoroughly enjoyable read
