Synopsis‘And she’s done it again! This time, a madder rollercoaster that cocks a happy snook at the Lok Sabha election darma – the idiosyncrasies and the bizarre nitty-gritties, the “elecsun” types and their manoeuvres and a love tangle throbbing sexily amidst it all.’ First City
‘Battle for Bittora displays the same spunky, bold style that Anuja displayed in Zoya, one that manages to grasp Indian popular culture by the collar and lay it bare on the pages for us to laugh at, make fun of and, more importantly, relate to.’ The Asian Age.
‘The books sparkles with a wry wit and very real characters – kleptomaniac, sex addicts and bigots all bring urban disorder to a sparse, rustic “dust bowl”.’ Femina ‘With their idiosyncrasies, mispronunciation and picaresque mannerisms, Bittora’s residents come across as a feisty bunch.’ Hindustan Times.
‘Chauhan manages to legitimize a new vocabulary emerging from the violent collision between Bharat and India that has all the promise of a new lingua franca.’ Outlook.
‘Whether a girl is fighting to get into parliament or occupy the corner cabin of her office, what she really, really wants to know is how good her you-know-what is looking in a pair of stretch jeans (…) Also, whether she’ll get the guy (…) in the end. Oh no, I’m not telling. Go. Read. The. Book.’ India Today.
‘Didn’t you mean any of the sweet things you said to me last night?’ I stopped giggling abruptly.
‘I meant some stuff,’ I wrote.
‘Good,’ he wrote back. ‘I meant some stuff too. Now go away and let me think about how I’m going to crush you.’
‘In your arms?’ I couldn’t resist typing.
‘No, you maniac. In the election.’
