House of Cards by Sudha Murty is an emotional and thought-provoking novel that explores love, ambition, human relationships and the harsh realities of modern society. The story follows Mridula, a bright and enthusiastic young woman from a small village in Karnataka. Her life changes when she crosses paths with Sanjay, a talented yet financially struggling doctor. Love blossoms, and the couple marry and move to Bangalore to build a new life.

Mridula enters marriage with hope, innocence and positivity. But the more she experiences the world, the more she realizes how selfish, materialistic and unpredictable people can be. Still, she remains grounded, cheerful and full of life.

Trouble begins when Sanjay resigns from his government job and starts a rapidly growing private medical practice. Wealth brings comfort — but also greed, corruption and the desire for more. Mridula, who once admired his values, remains unaware that Sanjay has gradually abandoned his ethics. When the horrifying truth finally comes to light, her world collapses.

With courage and self-respect, Mridula decides to walk away from the man she once loved deeply. But can she truly rebuild her life and find her own space in a world driven by power and money?

Through powerful storytelling and emotional depth, House of Cards holds a mirror to society, exposing ambition, betrayal and the fragile nature of relationships. Sudha Murty once again delivers a novel that touches the heart while making readers reflect on the choices people make.
