The Village Bride Of Beverly Hills
The culture-clash dilemmas ring heartbreakingly true. (Entertainment Weekly) Fairy tale fun bursts from the confines of an arranged Indian marriage in this delectable follow-up to For Matrimonial Purposes. (Publishers Weekly) The author of the enchanting and delightful (USA Today) debut novel For Matrimonial Purposes returns with a romantic comedy about a new bride leading a secret double life. After an arranged marriage in her native India, Priya moves with her husband to California, where they share a house with his parents. Playing the traditional daughter-in-law role, she's expected to clean, cook, and because she doesn't immediately get pregnant find a job as well! But the job, at a glossy Hollywood gossip magazine, isn't at all what Priyas in-laws had in mind for a traditional Indian wife. She soon finds herself with a secret life that she must hide from her disapproving new family. All the while, she is growing into a marriage with a man whose loyalty is decidedly torn between his parents and his bride. This is hardly surprising, given that he met his wife only a week before their wedding. The question is, can this fragile new love survive the pull between tradition and ambition?
