Dear Friends,

You are invited this September weekend - Saturday and Sunday to the book launches of The D'Costa Family
(Don't let the rains dissuade you. :)

"Wickedly funny, Rochelle’s prose glimmers even in its darkest turns where graveyards come alive, curry pots stir secrets, and nightmares are never kept — they’re returned with interest. From Bombay to Callian (Kalyan), Calcutta to Goa, the story moves through inheritance, real estate, faith, and betrayal, giving us characters as unforgettable as their one-liners. Set in Burgundy House, the D’Costa ancestral home, we are ushered into a world where matriarchs like Rita D'Costa cling to grouses, grudges and jewels; sons stake their claims; and daughters their dreams."


Join us for an engaging evening as I discuss my latest book.
