Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Miz B of A Daily Rhythm. Anyone can play along!
"Amari Hussain sits up in bed with cold sweat beading her forehead. A complete disorientation fogs her mind. Is this Mayurkhund? Or Mumbai?"
-Mayurkhund by Sadiqa Peerbhoy
Summary:
What do you do when your past comes back to haunt you? Amaari, a self-possessed PR professional from Mumbai lives a life haunted by nightmares from her past and a deep-rooted commitment phobia. One day she accepts an unexpected invitation to go back to mayurkhund, the land where she grew up, where her mother disappeared mysteriously and where she had an affair with her half-brother unknowingly. As horrifying secrets about her parents and family Tumble out of the closet, will she be able to finally discover if her mother is dead or alive and find closure from forbidden love of her callow youth?

These lines are from the very first page of the book and I am quite looking forward to reading more.
