What Will People Think? - In conversation with Vedashree Khambete-Sharma

About This Event

For this exclusive event, Khambete-Sharma will be discussing her writing process including a reading from her upcoming book What Will People Think, with Amina Pirbhai from Hackney Libraries. A warm and witty novel about community, family and love - as if Jane Austen wrote about 1970s Bombay. Detailing life in the Vile Parle district of Mumbai, a bastion of the Maharashtrian middle-class, Ila Bendre's mother is determined to get her four daughters married off as soon as possible.  As we follow the Bendre sisters from dinners to parties to weddings, from Vile Parle to Pune, will love eventually conquer all in this ingeniously witty and charming tale of pride, prejudice and puran polis?

This is an online event. The talk will begin at 6pm, and finish at 7.15pm. Please note: after booking, a Zoom link will be sent to you a few days before the event.
