In 2014, businesswoman and wife of politician Shashi Tharoor, Sunanda Pushkar was found dead in her hotel suite in New Delhi. Five years later, The Extraordinary Life and Death of Sunanda Pushkar (Rs 599, Pan Macmillan) by journalist Sunanda Mehta, has chronicled her life, from her early days in cantonment towns, to her first two marriages, a largely unknown stint in Canada, her rise as a Dubai businesswoman, and her much-publicised years with Tharoor until her controversial death. The book was launched on Tuesday at Delhi’s India International Centre to a full house.
