I enjoyed the story although it was a bit over the top and similar to young adult fiction at times. This is the story of an Indian born woman living in America who goes back to her homeland for a visit. The conservative Indian relatives want to set her up with an eligible Indian man, but she conveniently forgets to tell them she has an American fiance back in San Francisco. She has to decide whether she wants to conform to centuries old traditions or make a break from tradition.
I've read a lot of stories by Indian and Indian American authors so I could figure out some of the words used and sometimes the context was enough to determine what the word was. The author sprinkled delicious recipes throughout the story and that was an added bonus. This is a decent book though melodramatic at times. It's a good book for someone who wants to understand Indian culture better.
