Bollywood super star Amitabh Bachchan’s loving and talented daughter Shweta Bachchan-Nandas first novel, “Paradise Towers” will get rolled out by the month of October.
“Paradise Towers” is a cheering slice-of-life novel set in an apartment house in the city of Mumbai.
“The idea for ‘Paradise Towers’ came to me one morning on waking up. This is not unnatural for me. I come from a family of storytellers. As children, we were encouraged to write and read and our imaginations were given a free reign,” Shweta said in a statement.
“The concept of a book and the actual writing of it are two very different things. Writing this story down was daunting. Lots of second-guessing and laboring over words made up the process. I am excited to have my first book published but I am also anxious to know what the readers think of the microcosm that is ‘Paradise Towers’, and I hope they would come to be as invested in the lives of its inhabitants as I have come to be,” an elated Shweta stated.
Also, Harper Collins India has also made a declaration that it has got hold of the Indian subcontinent rights for the novel.
The acquirement of right comprises a second novel, which will be published in the year 2020.
The two books were acquired by Shreya Punj, Assistant Editor, HarperCollins India.
“Shweta’s book is one that I’m especially thrilled about. It’s the kind of debut that will mark her presence as an original voice in the world of Indian fiction.”
“‘Paradise Towers’ is a great novel with well-etched characters who are very relatable and a superbly crafted plot that has love, mystery, drama and all the ingredients of a fantastic summer read. I’m sure the readers will love it as much as we do,” added Shreya Punj, Assistant Editor, HarperCollins India.
It is stated the complete Bachchan family will also be present for the big launch.
