Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Spirited, elegant, fun, with an enchanting authorial voice, For Matrimonial Purposes a first novel which was the subject of a fierce international auction is a remarkable achievement, an original in the contemporary womens market. The main character, Anju, born and raised in Bombay, is now a fashion journalist in New York. But twinned with her enjoyment of the American scene, her single, glamorous life and the fashion perks it brings, is her determination to remain true to her Indian roots and her love of her extensive family. Marriage is the most important role for an Indian woman, and arranged marriages are still the custom: I am not working for your happiness, but for you to be married, says Anjus mother. Anju is 30, old in Indian terms, and her mother and aunt fear that her independent ways might make her less acceptable to other familys eyes. They set about organising possible contacts in their home town, Bombay. But now a prospective bride or groom, or their families, can decline the suggested marriage after a meeting. For Matrimonial Purposes is the hilarious, poignant, loving story of Anjus journey, the rare selection of men and their families that she meets, and the choices that she must make while trying to remain true to herself and satisfy her family and tradition. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Libro Prima edizione
Condizione: Sehr gut. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 269 (3) Seiten. 22 cm. Sehr guter Zustand. Eine wunderbare Liebeskomödie: Mit ernsthaften Absichten in New York. Sie ist jung, schön und erfolgreich. Seit einigen Jahren lebt sie in New York, macht Karriere als Mode-Redakteurin und führt ein glamouröses 'Sex and the City'-Leben - allerdings ohne den Sex. Denn Anju ist Inderin, und damit steht für sie fest, daß der erste Mann in ihrem Leben nur ihr Ehemann sein kann. Und genau der wird jetzt verzweifelt gesucht. Zur Verwunderung der New Yorker Freunde geschieht das auf die echt indische Art: Heiratsmakler werden konsultiert, Swamis, Gurus, Heiler, Heilige und Astrologen, junge Männer werden reihenweise beäugt, hochoffizielle Rendezvous im großen Familienkreis arrangiert - doch der Traummann ist nicht zu finden. Die Makler und Astrologen werden immer schäbiger, die Swamis und Gurus immer dubioser, Anjus Familie immer verzweifelter. Die Lage spitzt sich zu. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 450 Roter Pappband mit Schutzumschlag.

No marking to interior. Hardly seems to have been read. ***************************************** From the dust-jacket blurb : In this wonderfully warm and funny novel, an unforgettable heroine defies tradition by making a marriage between the strict customs of India and the wild freedoms of America. Anju has grown up in the upper-middle class Bombay, where even in the twenty-first century, arranged marriage is the norm. Her parents have been trying to find a suitable man for her since her late teens, but they keep turning up types who shudder wear shiny disco-era shirts, or want to carry her off to their family compound in Ghana, or are otherwise equally hopeless. The ones she likes , well, they just don t seem to fall for her. In her mid-twenties, Anju is quickly becoming a spinster by the standards of her culture. Her parents, ever more anxious, bring in the big guns : an army of fortune tellers, matchmakers, holy men, and a vast extended family eager to help. Yet despite their best efforts, Anju remains single. Only then is she able to persuade her parents to let her move to New York, where, she hopes, she will not be viewed as a failure. Making a new life, alone, in the dangerous Umerica is a great risk, but Anju also longs for independence and a career. And if the stars align she might even find love on her own terms Already internationally acclaimed as a journalist and in the fashion world, this is Kavita Daswani s debut novel.
