HBL Note: The historian in me would be thrilled if I ever surprisingly inherited a home (preferably an old one filled with personal papers, photographs, and books.) But the main character in Namrata Patel’s THE CANDID LIFE OF MEENA DAVE, was pretty happy with her life on-the-go and wasn’t too keen on being saddled with a home. However, her journalistic instinct won out over her nomadic nature, which is how she found herself living in a stranger’s home. What would you do if you unexpectedly inherited a home? Sell it and move on or check it out and embrace the adventure? Scroll down to read all about THE CANDID LIFE OF MEENA DAVE by Namrata Patel.

From the publisher:
Meena Dave is a photojournalist and a nomad. She has no family, no permanent address, and no long-term attachments, preferring to observe the world at a distance through the lens of her camera. But Meena’s solitary life is turned upside down when she unexpectedly inherits an apartment in a Victorian brownstone in historic Back Bay, Boston.
Though Meena’s impulse is to sell it and keep moving, she decides to use her journalistic instinct to follow the story that landed her in the home of a stranger. It’s a mystery that comes with a series of hidden clues, a trio of meddling Indian aunties, and a handsome next-door neighbor. For Meena it’s a chance for newfound friendships, community, and culture she never thought possible. And a window into her past she never expected.
Now as everything unknown to Meena comes into focus, she must reconcile who she wants to be with who she really is.
