ARRANGED MARRIAGE by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni tells the story of Sumita, a young Calcutta woman who is about to be married to Somesh. He is currently living in Canada and part owner of a small convenient store. They exchange letters and meet for the first time at their wedding in India. Sumita welcomes her new role as a married woman and joins her husband in Canada. She is excited by the fresh sights, sounds, and values of her new country. As in real life, things take an unexpected turn for the happy bride and she must choose between her beloved India and her new life in Canada. At its core, Arranged Marriage is the story of love and marriage and learning that dreams – no matter how strongly we hold them – can be altered at a moment’s notice.
