Home Banwari Lal, the patriach of a family-run cloth business in Karol Bagh is a believer in the old ways. Men work out of the home, women within. Men carry forward the family line, women enable their mission. But all is not as it seems. His two sons may unquestioningly follow their father in business and in life, but their wives will not. Neither will his granddaughter who is determined to strike her own path. In the midst of these tensions, a secret emerges which threatens the old-fashioned family to its foundations.
The Immigrant Nina, at thirty, sees herself as increasingly off the shelf. But then unexpectedly, a proposal arrives. Ananda is a dentist in Halifax, Canada. The two marry and she leaves her home and her country to build a new life with him. But there is always more to marriage than courtship. And as Nina discovers truths about her husband “ both sexual and emotional “ her fragile new life in Canada begins to unravel. The Immigrant is another mesmerizing saga about the complexities of arranged marriage and NRI life from this most beloved of novelists. ISBN:9788184001006
