Mrs Happily Single

here are some of us who are naturally sturdy, and then there are others who are like trailing vines.’

In the aftermath of a mysterious disappearance and an unexplained pregnancy, Malini walked out of her marriage and the life she had painstakingly created to forge a new beginning with her daughter, Sonali, firmly shutting the door to her past.

But when the nuns in Sonali’s convent school demand to see her child’s father in flesh and blood, Malini is forced to revisit a world she had forced herself to forget. Eight years later, she has to make yet another life-altering decision—will she forgive and forget the bitterness of their brief marriage and start afresh or is she happier on her own?

As their fairy tale unravels, Aakash and Malini find out there are no easy choices in marriage—and life.
