Description
A British-Bengali girl looking for Mr Right. A motley crew of men. A mum on a mission to match make and an age-old tradition with a twist. Welcome to the world of the arranged marriage.
While I’m young, free and single, time is—by Bengali standards—marching on. I must meet my dream man, or someone I can grow to like, and get married. The trouble is, I don’t really know what—or who—I’m looking for.
Luckily (or not) for me, arranged marriages are still a thing. So alongside my own dating efforts, it’s everyone’s business to find me a match. I’m pretty sure I’ll land a husband, but will he be “The One”?
The Secret Diary of an Arranged Marriage is the award-winning debut novel from former journalist Halima Khatun. Exploring family and identity with acerbic humour, it’ll change your view of matchmaking for good . . .
