Village Bride of Beverly Hills

The author of the ?enchanting? and ?delightful? (USA Today) debut novel For Matrimonial Purposesreturns with a romantic comedy about a new bride leading a secret double life.After an arranged marriage in her native India, Priya moves with her husband to California, where they share a house with his parents. Playing the traditional daughter- in-law role, she's expected to clean, cook, and'because she doesn't immediately get pregnant'find a job as well! But the job, at a glossy Hollywood gossip magazine, isn't at all what Priya's in-laws had in mind for a traditional Indian wife. She soon finds herself with a secret life that she must hide from her disapproving new family. All the while, she is growing into a marriage with a man whose loyalty is decidedly torn between his parents and his bride. This is hardly surprising, given that he met his wife only a week before their wedding. The question is, can this fragile new love survive the pull between tradition and ambition?Daswani, Kavita is the author of 'Village Bride of Beverly Hills ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780452286566 and ISBN 0452286565.
