Fortunately, I soon discovered the vulnerability hidden beneath her tough exterior, and I warmed up to her pretty quickly after that. She seemed so brusque, even when she should be kind and sympathetic. Shannon: When I first encountered Trisha, I found her pretty off-putting. Lisa: What did you think of Trisha? Did you relate to her at all? Her desire for her father’s approval and her desire to help people both struck cords with me.

I loved pretty much everything about her writing, so I’m looking forward to binging on her back list. Do you have previous experience with her work? Lisa: I love Sonali Dev’s novels so much. Who’s telling the truth?ĪAR staffers Lisa Fernandes and Shannon Dyer read Sonali Dev’s Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors, and here’s what they have to say about the novel. Soon DJ and Trisha are bantering and falling in love, but when Julia, now a documentary film-maker, offers to film Emma’s story, she has an entirely different tale about her history with Trisha and the Rajes to tell DJ – one that paints her as a poor friend trod upon by the rich, unfeeling Rajes. When Trisha comes to the kitchen, lifts the lid on DJ’s piece de resistance – his famous caramel sauce – and nearly tips it over, sparks and words fly. He needs this job, and is determined to impress with it. Aside from saving for his sister’s treatments, he’s hoping to make it back to Paris, where he’s got a mentorship situation and an attic flat. His latest happens to be cooking for the Raje family’s dinner thanks to a connection to Trisha’s cousin. Chef Darcy “DJ” Caine- Emma’s brother – has been trying desperately to talk her into taking the surgery in between catering jobs. Emma refuses to undergo the procedure even at the possible cost of her life. Trisha has been consumed by the case of Emma Caine, an artist whose brain tumor turns out to be benign but is wrapped around her optical nerves the surgery to remove it will leave Emma blind. Long ago, Julia drugged and raped Yash – and since it was Trisha who introduced Julia into their family, her father blames Trisha for the assault and has kept a frosty emotional distance from her. At the party, Trisha learns that her ex-college roommate, Julia Wickham, is back in town – endangering her brother Yash’s attempt at running for governor of California. Trisha has a family dinner to attend, and the last thing the introverted woman likes to do is socialize.

Due to their hard-to-please dad’s influence, the Raje children all consider themselves modern Californians, in spite of yearly summer trips to Sripore to visit their beloved grandfather. Her father – now a surgeon himself – was once a prince, and he gave up his royal lineage in an attempt at assimilating when he married their one-time child star mother. Neurosurgeon Trisha Raje descends from Indian royalty.
