<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>For the young girls and women brought to life in these stories, the possibility of change, of starting anew, is both as terrifying and filled with promise as the ocean that separates then from their homes in India. "These are ravishingly beautiful stories, some profoundly sad, others full of revelation, all unforgettable".--Booklist.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Although Chitra Divakaruni's poetry has won praise and awards for many years, it is her luminous, exquisitely crafted prose <i>(Ms.)</i> that is quickly making her one of the brightest rising stars in the changing face of American literature. <i>Arranged Marriage</i>, her first collection of stories, spent five weeks on the <i>San Francisco Chronicle</i> bestseller list and garnered critical acclaim that would have been extraordinary for even a more established author. For the young girls and women brought to life in these stories, the possibility of change, of starting anew, is both as terrifying and filled with promise as the ocean that separates them from their homes in India. From the story of a young bride whose fairy-tale vision of California is shattered when her husband is murdered and she must face the future on her own, to a proud middle-aged divorced woman determined to succeed in San Francisco, Divakaruni's award-winning poetry fuses here with prose for the first time to create eleven devastating portraits of women on the verge of an unforgettable transformation.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A remarkably strong debut . . . The all-too-imperfect lives of Divakaruni's heroines, like precious gems, are unrecognized treasures, worthy of being praised, protected and held dear."-- <i>San Jose Mercury News</i> <p/>"Both universal and unique."-- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"Beautifully told stories of transformed lives . . . Both liberated and trapped by cultural changes on both sides of the ocean, these women struggle fiercely to carve out an identity of their own." --<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i> <p/>"These are ravishingly beautiful stories, some profoundly sad, others full of revelation, all unforgettable." --<i>Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is the bestselling author of the novels <b>Sister of My Heart</b><i> </i>and <b>The Mistress of Spices</b>; the story collections <b>The Unknown Errors of Our Lives</b><i> </i>and <b>Arranged Marriage</b><i>, </i>which received several awards, including the American Book Award; and four collections of prize-winning poetry.
