Life Is A Feast, Bon Appétit!

The author and popular social commentator Shobhaa De says, “Insatiable reflects an unexpected ‘newness’. It’s an authentic, honest, and intimate representation of my far-from-conventional life, my deeply invested relationship with food, crazy, emotional family celebrations involving khaana-peena, besides the affectionate recollections of the tumultuous friendships that have enriched and challenged every moment over 75 years!” For a while, the thought had been brewing inside her head. The title Insatiable — My Hunger for Life aptly sums up so many different threads that are entwined, entangled, knotted, and embroidered in my memory,” says the eminent novelist, who is often known as India’s Jackie Collins. It is written in a playful spirit that camouflages several home truths,” says Shobha, whose novels include Starry Nights, Socialite Evenings, Second Thoughts, Surviving Men, Spouse— The Truth About Marriage, Sisters, Snapshots, and Speed Post, to name a few.
