Tell Me a Story Rupa Bajwa A moving tale of loss and hope ŸThe author of the critically acclaimed The Sari Shop
returns with her second novel after an eight-year wait ŸA touching novel about Rani, a young, lower middleclass girl who works in a beauty parlour and loves telling stories ŸPraise for The Sari Shop

‘Bajwa is excellent on ordinary people going about their business … all praise to the author.’–Guardian Set partly in the small, buzzing town of Amritsar and partly in New Delhi, this is the story of Rani, a young woman in contemporary India. She enjoys her work in a local beauty parlour though her lower middle-class family lives in a state of constant struggle–to make ends meet, to hang on to their dreams, to keep their fragile lives from collapsing.
As their financial troubles escalate, so do Rani’s sister-in-law’s taunts, brother’s frustration and father’s resignation. Random events happen that affect each of them, changing their lives forever. Tell Me A Story displays remarkable clarity and depth in drawing up the real semiurban living in India. Fragile and touching, it reminds us of how thin, tenuous are the connections which bind us to our illusory, sane-seeming lives. Rupa Bajwa’s debut novel The Sari Shop was published in 2004 to critical acclaim. The novel went on to win the Commonwealth Writer’s Prize for Best First Book (Eurasia Region), Grinzane Cavour Award for Best Debut Fiction and Sahitya Akademi Award for Best English Fiction (India), and was longlisted for the Orange Prize.

Man is a bridge, says Osho, between the animal and the divine–and our awareness of this dual aspect of our nature is what makes us human. It is also what makes us restless, full of conflict, so often at the crossroads of selfishness and generosity, of love and hate, frailty and strength, hope and despair. The Journey of Being Human looks into how we might embrace and accept these apparent contradictions, rather than trying to choose between them, as the key to transforming each twist and turn of life’s journey into a new discovery of who we are meant to be.

Rothkopf argues that these recent developments, coupled with the rise of powers like China and India, may not lead to the triumph of American capitalism that was celebrated just a few years ago. Instead, he considers an unexpected scenario, a contest among competing capitalisms offering different visions for how the world should work, a global ideological struggle in which European and Asian models may have advantages.
