Arranged marriages have been an integral part of the Indian society since ages. Basically a marriage is termed as arranged when it is arranged by people other than those getting married. In the process, it even curtails the phenomena of courtship. The other people involved in the arrangement of the marriage can be parents, match making agents, matrimonial sites or a trusted third party. In fact the task of match making is quite a number of times carried out by priests, religious leaders, trusted relatives, family friends, etc.This book deals with such a marriage and the resentment it caused in Radha, the young woman with modern ideas feeling that love has to be part of the equation. I will not reveal the final outcome of this novel, I will leave that to the reader. I will say that I liked the book and highly recommend it----buy it, 5 stars!
