Description

"My marriage was arranged on a hot summer day over my mother's Masala tea and famous crispy samosas which my prospective mother-in-law was pleased to learn I knew how to make. I was selected from a number of girls they had seen. I was the chosen one, imported from Fiji." Meeta can't believe her good fortune when she marries Amit, a handsome, young, Hugh Grant look alike, Indian man living in New Zealand. When she gets off the plane she is too eager to start her new life but not long after she discovers that not only does she know very little about her new country but also about her husband. Some years later, she knows altogether too much. Against all the odds that come with an arranged marriage, Meeta copes and although her life has its fair share of ups and downs, she has her own way of dealing with it. She takes up writing, a passion she indulged in childhood and befriends a Kiwi woman. However it is when Amit falls in love with another woman that Meeta finds herself having to make some hard decisions. To make matters worse her childhood past returns to haunt her ...She has the perfect plan to end everything.
