The Village Bride of Beverly Hills by Kavita Daswani
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?
