About the Book:

Good Innings by Shobha Tharoor Srinivasan

This book is neither a biography nor simply a self-help text. It is a collection of individual reflections on moments and stories put together from the life of Lily Tharoor. A recollection formed from personal memories is a narrative of a strong matriarch. The book is written by Shobha Tharoor, but every chapter starts with an anecdote from Lily Tharoor which paves the way for the chapter to be read and understood by the reader.
