When the story begins, Nisha, the main character, is about 25 years old, has a masters degree in communications, and is living at home with her ultra conservative Hindu father, socially inept younger sister, taciturn mother, and grandmother (who owns the house.) Her father is busy arranging "bride-seeing" visits through an agency to get the sisters arranged marriages. Nisha and her sister are busy arranging for the unattractive suitors and their families to find them unacceptable. Then her aunt and two female cousins arrive from the United States for a three week visit. Her aunt ran away with an American musician 20 some years ago and scandalized the family. She is so new agey spiritual Nisha has trouble communicating with her. Her aunt talks to the tree in the back yard. The cousins are attractive, athletic, "Valley girls" with attitude. It just gets better from there.One definitely positive thing...this book was edited and proof read, unlike the majority of Kindle downloads I have been getting. (Maybe the fact that they are free is a factor.)I wish the book had a better title. I tried to recommend it to my friends and family and they just looked at me. I almost didn't download it because of the title. I also wouldn't call it "chick lit." One great thing about Kindle...no one can see the cover of what you are reading.
