Recipe for a novel

The Idea
Obviously, the idea is to make the dish delectable. Especially it is meant for commercial consumption. Since this recipe is about concocting a novel, the ingredients are characters and plot(s). Narrative style does not feature here as it is more of an aftertaste: good, passable or bad.
Ingredients
· Midlife angst / desperation : In good volume.
· Corporate lifestyles from a woman’s point of view: stronger the better ( since the main clientele are bored housewives )
· Whirlwind nature : Adding cyclones into the already rich blend gives headlines.
· Teenage Trauma : Yummy and Zappy ( as this an upcoming market )
· Solution, absolution, redemption:
In good measure, to cater to urban disillusionment.

· Spice and salt : As much as you can get from Indian cities and villages.
