No one ever called me by my name again. Not Anjali, my given name or Kalyani, Madhavan’s family had decided was to be my married name. All of them just called me Bonda....'
Set in Chennai, Why I Killed My Husband is about a woman whose quiet dreams are destroyed day after day by what her Carnatic musician husband and society demands of her. Until trapped in her apartment during the great Chennai floods she discovers what she really wants for herself. And with that awakening, she unleashes a ruthless plot that will allow her to steer her life in the direction she chooses.
Why I Killed my Husband, narrated by the author Anita Nair herself, is as much a thriller as it is a story of our lives that will keep you guessing even as it teases an occasional laugh out of you.

Thoroughly!Anita Nair’s ability to go into detail, be authentic - be it in describing the South Indian kitchen or music - without being boring or tiresome is extraordinary. The story itself,while being a wee bit predictable, was presented in a most interesting manner and the reader/listener interest never wavers. But more than anything else, it was her rendition/narration that was absolutely outstanding.

An entertaining story! Engagingly read by Anita Nair. In fact, it was a treat to listen to her. When an author reads her own story...everything is just perfect! The pitch, the pause, the anger & the sighs. I ended up with a wicked smile after the story!
