Black Swan Books, Limited

When her boorish father dies, fat, unsophisticated Mousumi is sent from India to her cosmopolitan relations in London. Leaving behind everything she has ever known, a forlorn mother and an amorous shopkeeper, Mousimi must adjust to the glamour of the western world. On arrival, she is met by the Majumdar family: Prakash - a doctor with too much heart and man-about-the-house; Tuhina - a successful investment banker and indulgent mother; and Darshini - a nonchalant, beautiful eighteen-year-old and audacious coin-flipper. Such an offbeat household terrifies Mousumi - how will she fit in? Can she meet their high standards?

Isis Audio Books

Thin, glossy and traffic-stoppingly gorgeous, Darshini Majumdar is the image of teenage perfection, and cut from the same cloth as Tuhina, her indulgent mother, a whirlwind of power and polish. The two combine to form “The Two-Headed Tigress”―a beast so fearsome it makes Prakash (meek father and husband, a doctor with too much heart) cower in submission. But when Mousumi, a naïve and overweight cousin, is sent from India to live with this dysfunctional London family, her arrival sends the household into chaos. Desperately struggling to understand English―and Englishness―Mousumi is ignored by Darshini and Tuhina but finds an ally in Prakash. Together, Mousumi and Prakash indulge their love of old-world India, blissfully turning their backs on Darshini and Tuhina’s cosmopolitan ideals. 
Witty, sly and emotionally resonant, Dancing with the Two-Headed Tigress is an exuberant fish-out-of-water comedy of cultural misunderstanding.
