book gently brûléed my heart ' DOREEN CUNNINGHAM Muskan has a great life: a creative job
in the big city supportive friends and no trouble finding first dates. So what if her
colleagues don' t know she exists or her friends won' t stop lecturing her about the
three-year ' situationship' she' s in? It' s not like she' s starving. But
something is wrong and while the people around her seem to have all the right words nobody
can articulate what they want from each other. As obstacles mount and the easy-going persona
Muskan has built starts to crumble she is forced to face a question that' s been quietly
burning at the back of her mind: Why did her family move to America so abruptly? Warm funny
and sharply observed Ghost Chilli is a story about trying to find honest relationships in an
isolating world and the weight we unwittingly carry.
