Beautiful Articulation of Middle Class Mindset!
The book is a masterpiece in encapsulating the struggles of a middle-class woman with a humble and naive character. A must read book for all the newly married women! It will throw light on the fact to not expect anything out of anybody and teaches to pave a strong way for oneself.

A Strong Message on Society, Greed, and the Value of Women
House of Cards by Sudha Murty is a simple and interesting read. The story shows how money, power, and greed can change people and highlights the reality of society. I especially enjoyed the ending, which was very engaging. The book also beautifully portrays the value of women and teaches an important lesson about not getting lost in a materialistic world.

A sincere narration
This book is different from the other books penned by the author...it is a story of love, betrayal and restlessness....Sudha ji's simple yet spellbinding narrative makes this book unputdownable...the characters are next-door people and hence, highly relatable.. you would root for the protagonist, sometimes loathe her, at other times would want to advice her..but most of all, wish her a happy ending. Recommended to all bibiliophiles and men in particular.

A subtle slap on patriarchy !
I really don't know whether Sudha mam will read this review or not but whoever from her team reads please give a bow to her on my behalf. A genuine Namaskaar to the living legend. A woman writer like no other. she is simplicity personified and so are her characters. I could see Mridula and feel her. I saw my mums story resonate with Mridula's story of getting heart wrenched. Would not like to give any spoiler here. Its a must read man pls go read and experience the magic yourself. This is a must read for the youth before they take the step of marriage and even for people who are in the institution of marriage. Basically a must read story! I am a writer also mam. and get inspired by you so much. RESPECT!

Good book
Kind of like an Indian Maeve Binchy. She writes about a girl with an open honest personality who marries a man who initially was obsessed about his work but later started to value money more and thus looses his family. It was well written . It kind of reflects what society has become now in India. I will read more of this author for sure.
