Summary: You can't go home again!
Review: You really can't go home again, and Priya Rao didn't want to either. She had to though. After her mother's youngest brother eloped, Priya knew she had to tell her family face to face that she was engaged to marry an American.

What follows is a humorous, heartwarming story of a woman struggling to retain all her roles; daughter, granddaughter, sister, Indian and lover.

Intermingled with her mother's expectations, her father's compassion, her grandfather's manipulation are the sights, sounds and smells of India--the India that is foreign, yet familiar to Priya.

By showing the reader the flaws in India, Amulya Malladi has managed to show us why it's also exotic and mysterious.
