Book Synopsis
"An absorbing tale of contrasts…Cherian tells the story with quiet strength." —San Francisco Chronicle

Trade Review
"This quietly brilliant novel is a joy to read." -- Curled Up With a Good Book
"Engaging and thought provoking; a combination of India and America, tradition and modernity, oneness and individuality. I couldn’t put this book down." -- Story Circle Book Reviews
"Anne Cherian appears to be channeling Jane Austen in her wonderful novel A Good Indian Wife. Set in contemporary America and India, the book celebrates the cultural customs and idiosyncratic human nature that work in combination to create love, family, and identity. And like Austen, the writer ever-so-gently challenges the reader’s expectations and assumptions about the nature of romance and fidelity." -- Antonya Nelson
