An unforgettable novel about what happens when a marriage collapses? Shagun is a woman of unassailable social standing, married to a man chosen for her?a rising executive. Her lover is her husband?s boss. She asks for a divorce, and all hell breaks loose. Locked in a venomous legal battle for custody of their eight-year-old son and two-year-old daughter, Shagun and Raman begin a journey that will have unforetold consequences. Set against the backdrop of upper-middle-class South Delhi,?Custody?is both a searing indictment of India?s judicial system and an intimate portrait of a failing marriage and a family.
