The stories we tell ourselves and others are very often not true...
To the outside world, Bhanu seems to have a perfect life: a beautiful home and a wonderful husband and family... No one knows that each superficial layer has been carefully constructed to hide the dark secrets of her past and to bury the utter disappointment that what was written in the stars did not come to pass.
Then, on the eve of her fortieth wedding anniversary and vow renewal ceremony, a chance encounter shatters Bhanu's pretence, when a face from her past reappears.
Deep, her first love who was etched into her heart, the man who lingered in her dreams throughout her married life, reappears, asking her to abandon everything for a second chance at love.
Forced to confront the consequences of choices made long ago, Bhanu begins to unravel as her life is thrust into chaos. But by reaching for a different future, can she heal the wounds of her past?
An extraordinary story about the complex tapestry that makes up a woman's life and how facing the truth can change everything...

"Preethi Nair is a one-woman whirlwind"- HarperCollins.Preethi worked as a management consultant and gave it up to follow her dream and write her first book, Gypsy Masala. Having been rejected by most publishers, she set up her own publishing company and PR agency to publish and promote the book all whilst putting on a suit and pretending to go to work. Working under the alias of Pru, Preethi managed to gain substantial coverage and after two years of a roller-coaster journey, she signed a three-book deal with HarperCollins. She won an Asian Women of Achievement Award for her endeavours and "Pru" was also shortlisted as Publicist of the Year for the PPC awards.Having never acted before (not even at school), Preethi went on to write, act and produce "Sari: The Whole Five Yards", a sell-out one-woman show in the West End. Preethi adapted this play into the novel, "Unravelling", which has been optioned for television. Preethi is also visiting professor at various business schools, teaching modules on creativity for personal leadership. See: www.preethinair.com
