About this product

Product Information

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 Priya's 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?

Village Bride of Beverly Hills
This is an excellent take on the chick lit genre. It is the story of a woman from India whose marriage is arranged by her parents. She leaves India to come to America where she and her husband live with his parents and sister. She is caught in between the traditional Indian culture and the American way of life as she gets a job that quickly escalates into a full-blown career. If you liked the movie Bend It Like Beckham, or other Bollywood stories, you will love this great book!
