Today I’m sharing with you another blogger’s post about a novel I recently read, “Marriage Unarranged” by Ritu Bathal. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel which its author describes as “chick-pea-lit”. It gives fascinating insights into the family dynamics of Asian families in Birmingham and also opens up for us modern India. I have never forgotten my own trip to India a few decades ago ; it shocks and entrances in equal measure. Ritu conjures up the atmosphere of India, the sights, sounds and smells, the highs and the lows, in a vivid, lively and entertaining narrative. A highly recommended read.
