In this witty acute and often painfully funny book Veena Venugopal follows eleven women through their marriages and explores why the mother-in-law is the dreaded figure she is. Meet Deepa whose bikini-wearing mother-in-law won’t let her even wear jeans Carla whose mother-in-law insists that her son keep all his stuff in his family home although he can spend the night at his wife’s Rachna who fell in love with her mother-in-law even before she met her fiancé only to find both her romances sour and Lalitha who finds that despite having had a hard-nut mother-in-law herself she is turning out to be an equally unlikeable Mummyji. Full of incisive observations and deliciously wicked storytelling The Mother-in-Law is a book that will make you laugh and cry and understand better the most important relationship in a married woman’s life.
