Nazeen's arranged marriage to Chanu goes through gradual changes after she moves to London from her Bengladeshi village at age eighteen. Internal arguments about free choice provide the moral backdrop for her personal journey. Whether fate controls her or she takes her destiny by the hand is the central theme in this vibrant offering from a first time author.
I enjoyed the idea that there are few easy choices in life and the dialog allows you to emphasize with Nazeen as she makes each decision.

I have been wanting to read this for two years now! Received as a RABCK from BlueAmazon. I will read it, journal it and pass it on to the next lucky soul.
Thanks, BlueAmazon!
