Arranged Marriage: Stories by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

A collection of 11 short stories about young Indian and Indian American women, some married, some single, in various stages of claiming independence from their well-meaning but suffocating families and their oppressive patriarchal heritage. Strong and determined, many of Divakaruni’s heroines establish themselves with new beliefs, new goals, and new identities in the U.S.
