About this listen
In this captivating debut story, a young woman in India about to plunge into an arranged marriage seeks the advice of an older friend - an eccentric expat who has led an unconventional life.
In a quiet suburb of New Delhi, two next-door neighbors develop a friendship: one, a young woman engaged to be married, and the other, Nadine: a woman in her 60s living with her second husband. We follow these two women through their phone calls and visits together, diving deeper into Nadine's storied past: With her larger-than-life personality and proclivity to defy society's conventions, her insight weighs heavily on her young friend, about to face a major turning point of her own.
Nadine is a poignant short story about the choices, big and small, that shape our lives.

Perhaps what's most interesting about this story is the point of view from which the events are described and narrated - the point of view of a strong minded, free thinking, independant woman, born and raised in a different generation, when societal norms and views were much different from what they are now. The story, although short, delves into the wants and needs of women in a marital relationship - the need to be loved and cared for - and how neglect ruins relationships.
All in all, this story discusses something which is rarely discussed in popular culture - an insight into the lives and minds of women - something quite intriguing.
