{"product_id":"1563979","title":"Bombay Talkie by Ameena Meer","description":"Journalist Meer's first novel is as gaudy and melodramatic as the movies she evokes in her title. American-born Sabah's parents convince her to visit India, and she is thrust into the unravelling lives of an American-born friend, now married to an Indian and that of her famous movie star uncle and his family. The story is woven from the characters' inner monologues and a narrative that describes the seamiest excesses of wealth, poverty, sexism, racial consciousness, deception and hypocrisy with the pace and detachment of a journalist.
