Handsome anesthesiologist Neel is sure he can resist his family’s pleas that he marry a "good" Indian girl. With a girlfriend and a career back in San Francisco, the last thing Neel needs is an arranged marriage. But that’s precisely what he gets. His bride, Leila, a 30-year-old teacher, comes with her own complications. They struggle to reconcile their own desires with others’ expectations in this story of two people, two countries, and two ways of life that may be more compatible than they seem.

Not big on content or emotion. Very light read.
Revisado: 09-18-20
I was disappointed in the content and light story. Not much description of what makes a "Good Indian Wife" or insight into Indian customs and thought processes. The character's were not really developed enough for me to "feel" or "know" who they are. I was also very disappointed with how the story seemed more about Indian men desiring white women. And then there was the use of the "N word" which through me for a loop. It was unnecessary and served no purposes other than to point out that African Americans are still referred to in this manner behind closed doors. It seemed like the author just wanted to say it! Absolutely no purpose in the story. Shame on the author. And the narrator added no emotion or feeling to the characters. 3 stars might be generous.
