The Architecture of Desire, (Paperback)

<p><b>Some desires are not born. They are simply uncovered.</b></p><p>Riya has spent thirty-five years being the perfect wife. Composed. Traditional. The unassailable queen of her Delhi penthouse world. She has built an elaborate system for managing the things she will not let herself feel - and she has become, across a lifetime of careful management, very, very good at it.</p><p>Her husband Aryan sees all of this. He has always seen it. And when his own body begins to fail her, he makes the most extraordinary decision a man in love has ever made - he designs her liberation.</p><p><i>The Architecture of Desire</i> is the story of four people - an architect, his wife, his closest friend, and the woman who loves them all - navigating the most honest and most dangerous territory any of them have ever entered. It is a story about a woman who has locked herself away from her own hunger and the year it takes to find the key. About the difference between a marriage that is comfortable and a love that is complete. About what it means to be fully, honestly, completely alive.</p><p>Set in the elite circles of South Delhi and the silence of the Himalayan foothills, this deeply intimate literary novel asks the question that most of us spend our lives avoiding: </p><p><i>What would you become if you finally stopped pretending?</i></p>
