New Delhi, From the tensions of modern motherhood and marriage to what author Shivani Sibal describes as the “distance between what life looks like on the outside and what it feels like on the inside”, her new novel, “Moms”, delves into the complexities of women’s inner lives and much more.
“Never before in human history have our lives been so overtly performative and admired on such flimsy illusions of perfection. ‘Moms’ explores modern motherhood, marriage, social expectation, and the price of that perfection. But beneath the surface, she is consumed by anxiety, dread and the pressure to maintain appearances.
Set against the picture-perfect world of Delhi’s elite, “Moms” follows Radhika Khanna, who appears to have it all a glamorous address, an immaculate home and a seemingly perfect family. “As gala weekends and themed dinners hurtle towards a spectacular destination party in Rajasthan, Radhika is forced to pay the true price of her perfection,” reads the description of the book.
