An Incurable Insanity by Simi K. Rao: Book Spotlight & Giveaway (US/Canada)

October 25, 2013 by Darlene

Happy Friday everyone!  Today’s spotlight is on An Incurable Insanity by Simi K. Rao which is touring with TLC Book Tours.  Unfortunately I wasn’t able to have a review ready today so I’m going to spotlight the book for you all instead.  Be sure to pop by the end of the post and enter the giveaway as well – there is a hard cover or Kindle copy up for grabs for US residents and a Kindle copy for outside of the US.  In the meantime let’s see what the book is about…

ABOUT AN INCURABLE INSANITY

Her heart fluttered when she heard the sound of the key turn in the lock. She quickly adjusted her maroon silk sari with the yellow border, the one that had caught his eye, and waited eagerly for his footsteps.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven… Yes, exactly seven steps before he stopped, hesitated for a few moments, then removed his shoes one by one and arranged them neatly side by side on the shoe rack.

She smiled. He had been mindful of taking his shoes off every day now. “I am not used to it, but I will if you want me to. It’s probably a good thing to do anyway.”

As he settled down, he would pick up the TV remote and, without looking at her, would say in his smooth baritone, “So how did you spend your day, anything interesting?”

Shaan Ahuja found himself bowing to tradition and agreeing to an arranged marriage to the beautiful Ruhi Sharma. He went through the motions but had no intention of carrying through on his vows. His last foray into matters of the heart with an American girl had left him scarred and unwilling to try again. Thoroughly disillusioned and disgruntled he wasted no time in making his intentions clear to Ruhi on their wedding night. But, he was completely unprepared for what his new wife had in mind.

    The fact that this takes place within a non-Western culture makes it a doubly interesting book. Sign me up, please! Thank you for the giveaway.
