The Rules of Arrangement

di Anisha Bhatia (Autore)

Alcove Press, 2021

A 20-something in Mumbai must make the choice of a lifetime—her career in New York City or an arranged marriage in India—in this heartwarming and funny contemporary romance. “A boisterous family drama . . . takes satirical aim at marriage-obsessed cultural norms.” —Shelf Awareness Zoya Sahni has a great education, a fulfilling job and a loving family (for the most part). But she is not the perfect Indian girl. She’s overweight, spunky and dark-skinned in a world that prizes the slim, obedient and fair. At 26 she is hurtling toward her expiration date in Mumbai’s arranged marriage super-mart, but when her auntie’s matchmaking radar hones in on the Holy Grail of suitor—just as Zoya gets a dream job offer in New York City—the girl who once accepted her path as almost option-less must now make a choice of a lifetime. Big-hearted with piercing social commentary, The Rules of Arrangement tells a powerful, irresistibly charming and oh-so relatable tale of a progressive life that won’t be hemmed in by outdated rules. But not without a few cultural casualties, and of course, an accidental love story along the way.
