Descriere magazin:
In war-torn Sri Lanka, there are two kinds of marriage: the Arranged Marriage and the Love Marriage. An American-born daughter of Sri Lankan immigrants is caught between the tradition of her ancestors and the modern world in which she lives, in this stunning first novel by an accomplished young writer. In this globe-scattered Sri Lankan family, we speak of only two kinds of marriage. The first is the Arranged Marriage. The second is the Love Marriage.

She captures the pain of exile poignantly. --The San Francisco Chronicle Ganeshananthan has created a slow-burning and beautifully written debut in Love Marriage. It is an evocative examination of Sri Lankan cultural mores, and the way one family is affected by love and war -- The Financial Times Poignant and authentic....
