House of Cards is the story of Mridula, a bright young woman with
enormous enthusiasm for life who hails from a Karnataka village. A
chance meeting with Sanjay, a talented but impoverished doctor,
leads to love and the couple marry and settle in Bangalore. The
more Mridula sees of the world, the more she realizes how selfish
and materialistic people can be. But she does not take the ups and
downs of life to heart, and lives each day with positive energy.
Trouble brews when Sanjay quits his government job and starts an
immensely successful private practice. With affluence comes the
neverending a0mbition for more, and the inevitable slide into
corrupt practices. For a long time, Mridula has no idea that Sanjay
has sold his soul; when the truth hits her, she has no recourse but
to walk out on him. But can she really find a space of her own?
This intricately woven novel explores human relationships in
telling detail, and holds up a mirror to our society with candour
and with conviction.
