The central characters are two Indian sisters, Vinita and Nisha, trying desperately to avoid an arranged marriage with one of the suitors their parents keep trotting out. Some American cousins come to visit, and cross-cultural hijinks ensue. The author succeeds in giving her audience, which I presume is mostly North American, an educational tour of middle-class Indian life without making it seem heavy-handed.  The book is a tour de force of broad comedy.
