Reviews
Advance Praise for The Windfall : "A comedy of manners for the globalized 21st century, The Windfall is equal parts heart and humor by a writer who is a new star." --David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl and The 19th Wife "The funniest novel to come out of India in years. Diksha Basu's The Windfall is a timely snapshot of Delhi families on their way up, down, and sideways." --Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story "I so loved this novel - laugh-out-loud funny and yet deeply touching." --Deborah Moggach, bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel "Diksha Basu's The Windfall impressively evokes the world of a middle-class housing complex in Delhi. 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." --Karan Mahajan, author of the National Book Award finalist The Association of Small Bombs "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!" --Jade Chang, author of The Wangs vs. the World "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." - -Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians and China Rich Girlfriend , Advance Praise for The Windfall : "A comedy of manners for the globalized 21st century, The Windfall is equal parts heart and humor by a writer who is a new star." --David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl and The 19th Wife "The funniest novel to come out of India in years. Diksha Basu's The Windfall is a timely snapshot of Delhi families on their way up, down, and sideways." --Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story "I so loved this novel - laugh-out-loud funny and yet deeply touching. Like a blingy version of "Diary of a Nobody" it demonstrates that whatever our nationality or wealth we're all prey to fathomless insecurity." --Deborah Moggach, bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Advance Praise for Delhi Riche : "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." --David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl and The 19th Wife "The funniest novel to come out of India in years. Diksha Basu's Delhi Riche is a timely snapshot of Delhi families on their way up, down, and sideways." --Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story

Synopsis
"Charming . . . What Kevin Kwan did for rich-people problems, Diksha Basu does for trying-to-be-rich-people problems."-- People NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ESQUIRE - A PEOPLE PICK - A TIME PICK The Jhas are moving up. For the past thirty years, their lives have been defined by cramped spaces and gossipy neighbors. But when Mr. Jha comes into an enormous sum of money--the result of an unexpectedly successful internet venture--he moves his reluctant wife from their housing complex in East Delhi to the super-rich side of town, ultimately forcing them, and their son, to reckon with who they are and what really matters to them. Hilarious and wise, The Windfall illuminates with warmth and heart the precariousness of social status, the fragility of pride, and, above all, the human drive to build and share a home. Even the rich, it turns out, need to belong somewhere. Praise for The Windfall "A delightful comedy of errors." --NPR, Weekend Edition "Ultra-charming." -- Vogue "I almost fell out of bed laughing." --Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians "A fun and heartfelt comedy of manners." -- Rolling Stone "Though money doesn't necessarily buy the Jhas happiness, it delivers readers plenty of laughs and more." -- Esquire "Endearing, astute." -- Christian Science Monitor, "Charming . . .
