Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This wonderfully atmospheric, deliciously warm novel takes the reader into the heart of women's lives in contemporary India, revealing how the dilemmas that women face in their relationships with husbands, mothers, friends, employers and children are the same world over. Meet Akhila: forty-five and single, an income-tax clerk, and a woman who has never been allowed to live her own life - always the daughter, the sister, the aunt, the provider - until the day she gets herself a one-way ticket to the seaside town of Kanyakumari. In the intimate atmosphere of the all-women sleeping car - the 'Ladies Coupe' - Akhila asks the five women the question that has been haunting her all her adult life: can a woman stay single and be happy, or does she need a man to feel complete? After years of dealing with her impossibly demanding family, Akhila, a forty-five-year-old income-tax clerk, purchases a one-way ticket to a resort town and, in the intimate atmosphere of the all-women sleeping car, encounters five other women with whom she discusses whether or not one needs a man.
