Umm..I know a couple of young adult ones, they're young adult fiction..i think!

there's one that's called "Koyal Dark, Mango Sweet" ,Blue Jasmine, and there was something else..I can't remember the name. 😆sorry!

the culture is definitely mentioned and a pretty important topic as well but the plot is kind of different-ish.

Koyal Dark Mango Sweet is an AMAZING book!

Do you know any Funny romantic novels by indian authors like Varsha Dixit 's Right Shoe Wrong Fit. I read a book where heroine Damu writes letters to her doll about her shifting of job from Chennai to Mumbai and her struggles and so on. Good . But I forgot the writers name .

There are quite a few Indian authors that I've heard of, though I'm not sure about their books. Arundhati Roy (I think?), Shoba Dey (De? Dey?), and R. K. Narayan. I studied Narayan's The English Teacher for Literature in 9th grade and admittedly it was a little boring...Maybe his other works are more interesting? IDK...

Hope it helped! *hugs* :D

Love,
Bhav (:

Yeah, it's arundhati roy, shobha de (she keeps adding and deleting 'a's from her name....Indian Danielle Steele, I've heard her being referred to as. :|), r. k. narayan.
r.k. narayan's good - I've read his 'guide' and 'swami and friends'. dev ananad's movie guide was based on narayan's guide, and the tv show malgudi days was based on his series about that place (including the swami stories - kinda tom sawyer-ish).
ruskin bond is also good - writes mostly about shimla and surrounding areas, and a lot of his stories have supernatural stuff.
salman rushdie and v.s. naipaul are celebrated writers too, though I haven't read them.
you can also try the translations of writers like rabindranath tagore and sharatchandra chatterjee.
I'll let you know more. :)

Can anyone tell me more about the Vine of Desire?

I just finished Sister of My Heart :)
By the way, thanks for the thread, I love reading books by Indian authors.
I read a couple that are listed, including Keeping Corner, Blue Jasmine, and Koyal Dark, Mango Sweet.

Would love to discuss! :)
