Book Summary – 

Dollar Bahu is a thought-provoking novel by Sudha Murty that explores the illusions of wealth, family values, and the impact of materialism on relationships. The story revolves around Gouramma, a mother from Bangalore, who idealizes her daughter-in-law Jamuna—her "Dollar Bahu"—because she lives in the United States and is perceived to be wealthy. In contrast, she looks down upon her other daughter-in-law, Vinuta, who lives with her in India and leads a modest life. However, a visit to the U.S. opens Gouramma’s eyes to the emotional emptiness that can exist behind material comfort, prompting her to reassess her views on money, family, and happiness. Through this simple yet powerful narrative, Sudha Murty highlights the cultural contrasts between India and the West and the deeper meaning of contentment and human relationships.
