Description

This title is currently out of print.This collection contains eight episodes, each with a different focus, all full of aunts, all very funny, and very sad in a way.

Ms. Sharma happens to have a bevy of formidable aunts - good housewives all, ' a few gone crusty with age'. One thinks nothing of leaving her village to walk up high mountains in search of peace and shelter, another travels to Simla in a tonga, and third decides, at the age of 70 and without a word of English, to go alone to England to visit an errant son and his English wife, unafraid of the air hostess and the Heathrow Immigration.

There are eight such episodes, each with a different focus, all full of aunts, all very funny, and very sad in a way.
