The Village Bride of Beverly Hills

I chose to read The Village Bride of Beverly Hills by Kavita Daswani because it caught my eye on the shelf at Barnes and Noble (it's pink!) and the book also happens to sound interesting. :) The main character, Priya, is Indian and has been set up in an arranged marraige, part of her culture that I find interesting. She and her new husband move to Beverly Hills and Priya gets a job at a Hollywood gossip magazine. I think that there will also be a lot of culture clashing since it is her first time in America and everything is so new. I find it interesting how some immigrants become americanized quickly while others tend to keep their culture. The author has lived in many places and was born in Bombay, India and is now living in Los Angeles. Even though this is a work of fiction, the author will most likely have first-hand experiences that she was thinking of while writing this book. I hope I like it!
