Who Wants to Marry a Mamma’s\n Boy and Other Stories is an engaging collection of short stories by columnist\n and award-winning writer Manjula Pal. She strings together the emotional\n journeys of a diverse set of women at different stages in their life. The realism\n in her stories is unmistakable: whether it is a teenager facing the dilemma\n over right and wrong but eventually succumbing to social pressure, or the\n dilemma of an ambitious woman caught between a demanding career and an even\n more demanding boyfriend, or the socio-cultural dynamics that affect\n relationships, or how guilt can make or break a person. Manjula takes a deep\n dive into several unexplored areas of life and reaffirms that happiness is\n all about striking a balance between commitment and compromise.
