Vigil Aunties – Richa S. Mukherjee

Description

Secrets, saris, humour and drama! This is one vigil you don’t want to miss
Sixteen-year-old Philadelphia aka Philly Waghmare’s carefully curated life revolves around the SAT. The most exciting thing that happens in the crumbling old society she calls home is the weekly meet-up between her mother, Varsha, and her motley group of society aunties. Nothing really changes here—except one day when everything does!
A shocking incident leads Philly to trail Tarun Adhikari, the hotshot father of her best friend, Naina. During this quest, her world turns turtle as she not only discovers that her sweet, sanskari mother is the head of a secret society of women, but that this group might be responsible for the disappearance of a rogue named Ratan Tamancha, whom the police is looking for.
A game of cats, mice and wits commences as Bharatendu Bandopadhyay, a most unusual investigator, shows up asking questions.
Is this secret society of harmless aunties responsible for taking a life?
Will Philly be able to prevent her mother from going to jail?
Will this be the end of the road for the vigil-aunties?
