De-sist

Shobhaa De, often referred to as "India's (fill in the blanks) Jackie Collins/ Danielle Steele/ Nora Roberts/ all of the above", is coming out with a new book--Spouse. We at Kitabkhana barely escaped drowning in the slushy prose of Sisters and Starry Nights, so we refuse to read this, but as a mark of, well, something or the other, we're compiling:
