Overview

SHE LEFT MUMBAI TO BUILD HER DREAMS-BUT COMING HOME MAY CHANGE EVERYTHING SHE BELIEVES ABOUT SUCCESS, FAMILY, AND LOVE. Fifteen years ago, Priya Sharma left Mumbai with a scholarship, a suitcase, and a heart full of ambition. Now she's thirty-two, a high-powered marketing executive in Boston, engaged to a man who represents everything she's worked for-wealth, order, and prestige. When she reluctantly returns to India for three short weeks, she tells herself it's just a family visit. No distractions. No emotions. No nostalgia. But Mumbai has other plans. From the moment Priya steps off the plane, the city assaults her senses with its heat, color, chaos-and its memories. Her family greets her with open arms and sharp questions about her life abroad. Her mother's relentless matchmaking collides with her sister's simmering resentment, and beneath the surface of every reunion lies the ache of fifteen silent years. And then there's Arjun Kapoor, her childhood best friend and first love-the one she ran from when she left for America. Now an architect designing affordable housing in their old neighborhood, Arjun has become everything Priya once claimed she didn't want: grounded, idealistic, and rooted in the very city she escaped. When their paths cross again, sparks of the past flare against the backdrop of Christmas in Mumbai-mistletoe, monsoon skies, and unfinished conversations that refuse to stay buried. As deadlines loom in Boston and emotions unravel in India, Priya must decide what ""home"" truly means. Is it a corner office and a flawless résumé, or a messy kitchen that smells of cardamom and belonging? And when the past collides with the present, will she choose ambition-or the one man who has never stopped believing in her? A moving, beautifully layered novel of love, family, identity, and rediscovery, Mistletoe in Mumbai captures the ache of diaspora and the magic of second chances. Perfect for readers who loved ""The Namesake,"" ""One Day,"" ""The Henna Artist,"" and Jojo Moyes' ""Me Before You."" Set against the glittering chaos of modern India and the polished world of Boston high finance, this novel is a cross-cultural romance brimming with emotional honesty, sharp humor, and the irresistible pull of coming home.
