{"product_id":"sindu-sj-marriage-of-a-thousand-lies-9781616959470","title":"Marriage of a Thousand Lies","description":"\"What a gorgeous, heartbreaking novel.\"-Roxane Gay ​​ A necessary and exciting addition to both the Sri Lankan-American and LGBTQ canons, SJ Sindu's debut novel offers a moving and sharply rendered​ exploration of friendship, family, love, and loss. Lucky and her husband, Krishna, are gay. They present an illusion of marital bliss to their conservative Sri Lankan-American families, while each dates on the side. It's not ideal, but for Lucky, it seems to be working. She goes out dancing, she drinks a bit, she makes ends meet by doing digital art on commission. But when Lucky's grandmother has a nasty fall, Lucky returns to her childhood home and unexpectedly reconnects with her former best friend and first lover, Nisha, who is preparing for her own arranged wedding with a man she's never met. As the connection between the two women is rekindled, Lucky tries to save Nisha from entering a marriage based on a lie. But does Nisha really want to be saved? And after a decade's worth of lying, can Lucky break free of her own circumstances and build a new life? Is she willing to walk away from all that she values about her parents and community to live in a new truth? As Lucky-an outsider no matter what choices she makes-is pushed to the breaking point, Marriage of a Thousand Lies offers a vivid exploration of a life lived at a complex intersection of race, sexuality, and nationality. The result is a profoundly American debut novel shot through with humor and loss, a story of love, family, and the truths that define us all.","brand":"Soho Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53933198541142,"sku":"9781616959470-V","price":6.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53405581050198,"sku":"9781616959470-G","price":5.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/sindu-sj-marriage-of-a-thousand-lies-9781616959470","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
