My memoir SCENT OF YESTERDAY is now available on Amazon: amazon/author/jayakamlani BOOK DESCRIPTION: Born by candlelight in August 1947, Jaya Kamlani (née Mirchandani) and her family are among millions displaced by the Partition of India. In Scent of Yesterday, she transports readers to post-British Raj Bombay (now Mumbai) with sweet and spiced vignettes of her youth –– from riveting family tales and convent school capers to forbidden love. In 1969, Jaya gets an opportunity to study in America. With newfound freedom, she weds against her family’s wishes and launches a career in the New York advertising industry. She later takes a leap into technology and fights the Silicon Valley glass ceiling, while enjoying simple pleasures with her family. After retirement, she reflects upon her role in the world and writes about it. Scent of Yesterday is a prequel to Jaya’s first book, To India, with Tough Love. Her spirited candor and ceaseless determination inspire others to overcome their inhibitions and embrace the unknown. Readers will also cherish music, dance, and local culture of yesteryears. ABOUT JAYA: Jaya Kamlani is an English Literature graduate of St. Xaviers College, Mumbai. She presently serves on the Board of Directors for Atlanta: City of Peace, Inc. (ACP) in Georgia.
