I've been reading a lot of Indian fiction lately but this one is a duplicate of one I already own and haven't yet read.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
"Anju has grown up in upper-middle-class Bombay, where even in the twenty-first century, arranged marriage is the norm. Her parents have been trying to find a suitable man for her since her late teens, but they keep turning up types who - shudder - wear shiny disco-era shirts, or want to carry her away to their family compound in Ghana, or are otherwise equally hopeless. The ones she likes, well, they just don't seem to fall for her." "In her mid-twenties, Anju is quickly becoming a spinster by the standards of her culture. Her parents, ever more anxious, bring in the big guns: an army of fortune-tellers, matchmakers, holy men, and a vast extended family eager to help. Yet despite their best efforts, Anju remains single." Only then is she able to persuade her parents to let her move to New York, where, she hopes, she will not be viewed as a failure. Making a new life, alone, in the dangerous "Umrica" is a great risk, but Anju also longs for independence and a career. And if the stars align, perhaps she might even find love - on her own terms.
