In \u003ci\u003eA Life of Adventure and Delight\u003c\/i\u003e, Sharma delivers eight masterful stories that focus on Indian protagonists at home and abroad and that plunge the reader into the unpredictable workings of the human heart. A young woman in an arranged marriage awakens one day surprised to find herself in love with her husband. A retired divorcé tries to become the perfect partner by reading women’s magazines. A man’s longstanding contempt for his cousin suddenly shifts inward when he witnesses his cousin caring for a sick woman. Tender and darkly comic, the protagonists in \u003ci\u003eA Life of Adventure and Delight\u003c\/i\u003e deceive themselves and engage in odd behaviors as they navigate how to be good, how to make meaningful relationships, and the strengths and pitfalls of self-interest. Elegantly written and emotionally immediate, the stories provide an intimate, honest assessment of human relationships between mothers and sons, sons and lovers, and husband and wives from a dazzlingly original, critically acclaimed writer.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAkhil Sharma\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eFamily Life\u003c\/i\u003e, a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book of the Year and the winner of the International DUBLIN Literary\u003cbr\u003e\nAward and the Folio Prize.
