Produktbeschreibung
In a world where family expectations outweigh personal desires, tradition isn't simply a guide-it's an ironclad rule.

Madhav is a young man with an engineering job that pays rather well. He also has:

  • A mother who doesn't understand why it is so wrong to demand dowry for her son. Especially when she paid out a generous dowry for her daughter.
  • A father who feels so obligated to his beautiful wife for consenting to marry him, he will not deny her.
  • A grandfather whose wacky schemes occupy his own time and Madhav's.
  • A grandmother whose sharp tongue hides a kind heart.
  • A girl who has possession of his heart but not of the dowry his mother so desires.


Traditionally, as the eldest son, Madhav must marry a woman who will perform his ancestors' afterlife rituals-a responsibility he's ready to shoulder. Yet, when it comes to selecting a bride, he'd rather deviate from tradition and choose his own partner-an idea his parents are not willing to accept.

Set in rural India, where old traditions and new ideas often collide, Talking Is Wasted Breath is a compelling drama about the challenges of generational differences, societal pressures, and the power of love. In a world where family ties are both valued and limiting, the story follows one man's search for happiness as he disrupts long-standing traditions. Engaging and insightful, this novel explores themes of change, hope, and the complexities of human relationships.

◆ This book was previously called 28 Years A Bachelor.

◆ Spellings used in this book are British/Indian.

◆ All books in this series may be read independently.

◆ Madhav's sister's story continues in Daughters Inherit Silence.

Autorenporträt
Rasana Atreya's debut novel, Tell A Thousand Lies, was shortlisted for the Tibor Jones South Asia Prize. This novel was taught at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque's English 479. Glam magazine (UK) calls this "one of our five favourite tales from India."

The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque's publication Emerging South Asian Women Writers: Essays and Interviews (From Antiquity to Modernity Book 1) by Feroza Jussawalla and Deborah Fillerup Weagel has a writeup on Rasana.

After working in IT for several years, Rasana made a successful transition to writing fiction. Rasana was one of India's self-publishing pioneers. She did this after declining a trade-publishing contract. Amazon flew her to New Delhi for the launch of the Kindle.

Rasana lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and two children. Her son is in college, and daughter is grumpily finishing high school over Zoom.

Her novels, all standalones, are loosely tied together in a series, Tales From The Deccan Plateau:

* Tell A Thousand Lies (March 2012)

* Talking Is Wasted Breath (Previously 28 Years A Bachelor. December 2020)

* Daughters Inherit Silence (February 2021)

* The Water Wives (Launching in 2022)

* The Temple Is Not My Father (Expanding novella into a novel. Launching in 2022)

* Tell A Lie, Beget A Daughter (Launching in 2022)
