This bittersweet novel explores the experience of becoming an immigrant: how it feels to be thrown into a new culture and how adapting to a different set of values can affect someone’s whole identity.

When 30-year-old Nina, a teacher in Delhi, weds Ananda, a successful dentist in Canada, through an arranged marriage that seems convenient for them both, she dreams of a better life. Little does she expect the deep emotional turmoil she will need to go through in order to find herself at peace in a welcoming but very foreign world.
Written in a flowing, engaging style, this moving and honest tale will delight all and open many eyes.

Patti Huisse, Waterstone's Kensington
