Meet Akhila: forty-five and single, an income-tax clerk, and a woman who has never been allowed to live her own life - always the daughter, the sister, the aunt, the provider - until the day she gets herself a one-way ticket to the seaside town of Kanyakumari. In the intimate atmosphere of the all-women sleeping car - the 'Ladies Coupe' - Akhila asks the five women the question that has been haunting her all her adult life: can a woman stay single and be happy, or does she need a man to feel complete?

This wonderfully atmospheric, deliciously warm novel takes the reader into the heart of women's lives in contemporary India, revealing how the dilemmas that women face in their relationships with husbands, mothers, friends, employers and children are the same world over.

Great buy
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black Faux Leather
I absolutely love these Amazon Essentials Belice Ballet Flats! They are so comfortable right out of the box and fit my feet perfectly. I can wear them all day without my feet hurting, which is hard to find with flats sometimes. They’re also really cute and go with almost everything I wear. I find myself reaching for them all the time because they’re both comfy and pretty. Definitely a great everyday shoe, especially for the price!

Loooove these shoes!
Size: 7.5 Wide, Color: Chestnut Brown Faux Leather
I have these in several colors, and they’ve become a true staple in my wardrobe. The Amazon Essentials Women's Belice Comfortable Slip-On Ballet Flats are exactly what I look for in an everyday shoe—simple, versatile, and comfortable right out of the box. The slip-on design makes them super convenient for busy days, and they pair effortlessly with everything from jeans to dresses to work outfits. They’re lightweight but still feel supportive enough for all-day wear, and I appreciate that they don’t require a break-in period. The fit is generally true to size, and the variety of colors makes it easy to stock up and rotate depending on the outfit. Overall, these are reliable, easy-to-wear flats that offer great value for the price. Not flashy, just consistently comfortable and practical—which is exactly why I keep coming back to them.
