Carole Beu of the Women's Bookshop in Auckland reviews Love Marriage by Monica Ali, published by Hachette.
From the Booker shortlisted author of Brick Lane, a fascinating, and sometimes amusing, psychological exploration of marriage and parent- adult child relationships. Two junior doctors in a London hospital are engaged -Yasmin, the daughter of Indian Muslim immigrants, and Joe, the son of a high-flying, fiercely feminist social star. Race, class and cultural misunderstandings complicate the already complex family dynamics going on between these engaging characters. Intelligent & thought-provoking.
