Paperback / Hardback

Once a year, the Mumbai Marathon passes by Silverline Apartments.

This year, seven more women are racing to the finish.

Set in the heart of the city, Mumbai Marathon follows the complicated lives of seven women. An actress who will risk everything for a billboard. A psychiatrist who cannot outrun her own past. A maid who sells her grief to survive. A widow who mourns strangers. A socialite left behind by the spotlight. A woman who learns that motherhood can arrive without birth. And a rich girl who wants to matter.

Each stands between what was and what comes next, stumbling forward without spectacle or applause. Because for women, stopping is not an option.

Aarambhh M Singh’s Mumbai Marathon is a finely observed novel about identity, ambition, and desire. It is not a story of victory, but of motion—of lives lived in the long, ordinary middle. A quiet, compelling read that stays with you long after the pages stop turning.
