Welcome to Grand Life Apartments...

Soon-to-be-retired Kamala spends her days counting down to her daughter's annual visits from abroad.

Thirty-two-year-old engineer, Revathi, is frequently reminded by her mother that she's fast reaching her expiry date in the arranged-marriage market.

And heartbroken Jason is here because he's running away - from London, and from his past.

With nothing in common, they are united only by a love - and a need - for where they live. So when a developer threatens to demolish everything they know, they come together to save their beloved home...

Praise for Minor Disturbances at Grand Life Apartments: your perfect uplifting read

The most charming, utterly lovely story I've read in ages . . . With characters you absolutely root for and mouth-watering descriptions of delicious food, this is one of my books of the year - Red Magazine
From the vibrant setting to its engaging characters, this joyous novel is a feast for the senses, as well as the soul
I was put in mind of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City. Just daily life and its 'small disturbances' but rendered with great observational acuity and a distinctive and evocative voice
It's utterly entrancing - so humane and funny, and so seeped in India that I could smell the cooking and breathe the exhaust fumes. I absolutely loved it from start to finish
Warm, gorgeous, tender, hopeful and human. I felt so HAPPY when I was reading it
An enchanting hug of a book with characters that you'll really root for
A super warm and lovely read . . . Should have a warning though: WILL MAKE YOU HUNGRY
Hema Sukumar's debut is an absolute joy. I loved being transported to the Grand Life Apartments and I was bewitched by the characters, colours and tastes of Chennai. Please can I move in forever?
