THE RULES OF ARRANGEMENT

Shazia Nicholls narrates the story of an intelligent and resourceful young woman finding her place in the world. Zoya Sahni has focused on her education and career, rather than looking for a husband, and her dedication pays off when a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes her way . . . at almost the exact same time a staggering marriage prospect arrives. Nicholls perfectly captures Zoya's ambivalence about marriage; getting married is what a good Indian girl should do, but Zoya also loves her job. Her struggles between career and family obligations are relatable, and Nicholls expertly balances Zoya's conflicting desires to please her family by making a good match, while also wanting to continue with a career she excels in.
