Description
As the day of leaving school draws near a family crisis forces the cousins to abandon their university plans and their mothers swiftly start the serious business of arranging their marriages to the sons of suitable families. And thus the inseparable pair is torn apart: Sudha moves to her new family's home in rural Bengal while Anju joins her immigrant husband in California. But although they have both been trained to be perfect wives nothing has prepared them for the great challenges for the pain as well as the joy that each will have to face in her new life.
Compelling and passionate rooted in Indian folklore and steeped in the mysticism of ancient tales this bright jewel-like novel shines its light on the bonds of family on love and loss against a backdrop of the realities of traditional arranged marriages and the adjustments needed for modern-day life in the West.
