To begin with, I was contemplating on Love Marriage by VV Ganeshananthan but the reviews are quite mixed!! Probably you could suggest some good books!

In this case, it can be set in a South Asian country or be about South Asians living abroad. It can also be a biography or memoir of a South Asian, or of a non-South Asian traveling or working in South Asia. In this case, the author does not need to be South Asian, as long as the subject matter focuses on the region, peoples, or cultures in some way.<br /><br />On these grounds, doesnt the book qualify?? All the same, its a book I have been planning to read for quite some time, put off by the size though. Its been in my shelf for over a year!<br /><br />@ Swaram - Hmm... re reading a book as thick as Shantaram would be a huge ordeal for me!Sandhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17152750959166378866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6294172819327885567.post-4698785313835443362010-12-07T10:43:45.955-08:002010-12-07T10:43:45.955-08:00Gregory David Roberts is an aussie author.
