House of Cards By Sudha Murty

A COMPELLING JOURNEY OF INTEGRITY, AMBITION, AND THE SEARCH FOR SELF.

In this deeply resonant novel, Sudha Murty introduces us to Mridula, a vibrant and spirited woman from a small village in Karnataka. When she marries Sanjay, a talented but modest doctor, their life in the city of Bangalore begins with hope and shared dreams. However, as Sanjay’s private practice flourishes and their wealth grows, so too does his thirst for more—leading him down a path of compromise and corruption.

House of Cards is more than just a domestic drama; it is a candid reflection of modern society. As Mridula discovers the true cost of her husband’s success, she is forced to confront the disillusionment of her marriage and the challenge of carving out an identity independent of it. With her signature warmth and piercing insight into human relationships, Sudha Murty delivers a powerful narrative that asks a fundamental question: When the foundation of your life begins to crumble, do you stay and try to fix it, or do you find the courage to build anew?
