Book Summary

A Few Good Friends follows a tight‑knit group of alumni from IIM Calcutta who reunite about twenty years after graduation. The main characters—Aadi, Ambi, Miru, Kajo, along with their batchmates TD and Srini—look back on their youth, their dreams, friendships, and the parts of themselves they left behind. The story toggles between their heady, idealistic college days and their present‑lives, which are more complicated: successes and failures, unfulfilled hopes, family pressures, identity crises, and secrets. The reunion (held over a weekend in Goa) acts as a catalyst—old grudges surface, ex‑lovers reappear, some lie more about themselves than they realize, and each character must come to terms with what their life became versus what they once hoped it might be. Ultimately, the novel reflects on what friendship endures, how people change (and how sometimes they don’t), what choices cost, and the nostalgia and reality of mid‑life. 

About the Author:

Swati Kaushal is an Indian novelist known for her warm, honest explorations of modern life, particularly women, friendship, identity, and the tensions between personal ambition and societal/family expectations. She studied at Lady Shri Ram College in Delhi and then earned an MBA from IIM Calcutta. Before turning to full‑time writing, she worked in corporate roles with companies like Nestlé India and Nokia. Her work often draws on personal experience—as an alumna of IIM‑Calcutta, she brings authenticity to the campus memories in A Few Good Friends, but she emphasizes that her characters are fictitious. She currently lives in the U.S. with her husband and children. Her previous novels include Piece of Cake, A Girl Like Me, Drop Dead, and Lethal Spice.
