Description

Happy Birthday: And Other Stories is a collection of short stories by Meghna Pant.

In another, a woman discovers the uncomfortable truth behind her marriage. A young slum-girl hopes to speak out to the world in words valuable enough to be rendered into English, and an American tourist loses his bag, and destiny intervenes. These stories are imbued with an Indian tone, they are compelling and offer readers a rare and unique coverage of the human mentality.

Fantastic book

I picked up this book when I read that it was shortlisted for a major international award and I have to say that each and every story was a gem.

There are very few books that take you on a journey that is both emotional and semantic. Poised and elegant, this collection of short stories is one of the best I've ever read.

Bravo!

I loved each and every story in this amazing collection of thirteen stories. Stark, gripping and moving, these stories are brilliantly written and told.

Look forward to reading more and more from this talented author Meghna Pant.

Never read such a bunch of pessimistic stories.

Title of book is the biggest irony -- should have been RIP

Some stories have shades of Jhumpa Lahiri's NRI characters struggling to find their identity in USA.

A tear jerker!

Very interesting book by Meghna Pant. This book is a tear jerker so be prepared with a box of tissues. Meghna's insight into human emotion is exceptional. A serious and thought provoking book which makes you go through a lot of introspection. A great read and a must buy!
