A good Indian wife - Anne Cherian

on Monday, December 7, 2009

I really liked this novel a lot. It was so touching for me. It's about a young Indian doctor Suneel Sarath who was studying and now staying in the US. He has a sort-of girlfriend Catherine. He goes to visit India to visit his "ailing" Thatapa but on landing in India, realises that his mother tricked him into coming to India to see girls for marriage. Through an unfortunate mistunderstanding, he somehow gets married to Leila. Leila is a sweetheart in this novel. She is a typical Indian girl and comes to US with dreams. She is independent and soon realises what her husband was upto with Catherine. So the story goes on about how she and Suneel in the end ultimately reconcile. A really nice novel :)
