Just finfished reading this book by Manju Kapur. It was a decent read. A bit predictable, but a decent read still. Though I must say, I had to speed read in a lot of places.
An indian dentist in Canada, having found his feet after some struggle, gets an indian wife. It's also because of his failure to perform sexually with white women, much as he wants to. The wife is an educated girl trying to come to terms with her new country, new husband and the new lack of sexuality in their relation. Then a process of both finding what they really want:
the husband- a white woman in bed and a docile indian wife for companionship
the wife- to work, to try and make this country her own on her own conditions and of course,sexual and mental liberation!
Read it - when u finish you favorite book and there's nothing else to read.
