In case I forgot to mention it, I'm also prudish to the point of being puritanical. But at eight, Nira had only one over-powering wish-- to pee standing up like a boy. In fact, to be a boy. Join Nira as she steps into her brother's clothes and becomes the self-appointed Al Caponesque gang leader of the neighbourhood boys. Her oddball yet madly loving family shapes her personality and a poignant relationship with her brother's best friend shapes her life. She uses uninhibited candour to detail her coming-of-age journey from Calcutta to London, from tomboy to reluctant woman-in-progress always trying to fit in, but always failing. She's a laugh a minute and yet she breaks your heart with her subconscious, percussive yearning for the one person who is always too old, too far, too married to be hers. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fingerprint Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46404955013271,"sku":"9788175993419","price":162.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788175993419.webp?v=1769306477","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-spectacular-miss-9788175993419","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
