DILMIL: Daughter-in-Law / Mother-in-Law
Shortlisted for Netflix's 2023 Top Ten storytelling contest!Dutiful but dramatic ROOPA believes that “family” is always the solution. She cooks for her family, shops for them, selflessly prioritizes them (and makes sure they know it).
Alas, her son has just married DIVI, a "career-minded ladki" who believes freedom is always the financial freedom, emotional freedom, and just letting people BE (whatever that means).
Now, the two women must share a home. Add to the mix Roopa's slyly vicious mother-in-law, her somewhat absent husband, her wryly comic son--
--and you have the ingredients of a Molotov coc—oops, you have the ingredients of family comedy DILMIL.
Because if failure is the root of all comedy, what can fail more reliably than a saas-bahu pair with the best of intentions?

I laughed aloud more than once while reading.... Glad I chanced across this book when I did.
