Curry is Thicker than Water
WITH FOREWORD BY THE GILLER PRIZE AND COMMONWEALTH WRITERS PRIZE WINNER AUSTIN CLARKE
by Jasmine Anita Yvette D’Costa
A cobra flies in through an open window. Wives form a pact against their bigamous, abusive husband. A mother and son battle over eagles? eggs. A homeless guest with a secret. An elephant protests on a highway. A woman marries a pumpkin. Diverse people - one country! This is the teeming, hectic world of India. It is also the vivid, startling world that Jasmine D's Costa gives us in Curry is Thicker than Water.

"Jasmine D?Costa brings an exotic, yet familiar, land into sharp focus. Her language is acerbic and mellow by turn, she unveils a motley cast in loving details. It is a spicy, fragrant dish that D?Costa serves up." — Shagorika Easwar, Editor Desi News
