description: In war-torn Sri Lanka, there are two kinds of marriage: the Arranged Marriage and the Love Marriage. An American-born daughter of Sri Lankan immigrants is caught between the tradition of her ancestors and the modern world in which she lives, in this stunning first novel by an accomplished young writer. \nIn this globe-scattered Sri Lankan family, we speak of only two kinds of marriage.

Now, as Kumaran's death and his daughter's politically motivated nuptials edge closer, Yalini must decide where she stands. Lyrical and innovative, V. V.

This intricately woven tale, with its universal themes of love and estrangement, presents an exciting new voice in American literature. \n-Yiyun Li, author of A Thousand Years of Good Prayers Complex and moving . . . an impressive debut. \n-Daniel Alarcón, author of Lost City Radio V. V. Ganeshananthan has given us a riveting picture of the intersections of love and war that shape us all. A debut of incredible passion and wisdom. \n-Rebecca Johns, author of Icebergs At its b…
