Mrs Ali's Road To Happiness
Mrs Ali's Road To Happiness: Number 4 in series | Farahad Zama
4 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
Mrs Ali's much loved home is suddenly under threat - a road widening scheme threatens to destroy both it and the family business, the Marriage Bureau for Rich People. Meanwhile, Mrs Ali's niece, Pari, a young Muslim widow, adopts a destitute Hindu boy, and this unorthodox arrangement offends both Muslim and Hindu in the sleepy eastern Indian town of Vizag. The Ali family are plunged into crisis, threated by police action, social boycott and excommunication. There is one plan that might just keep Pari and her son together, and the home Mr and Mrs Ali have shared for many years intact, but it's a desperate gamble. Do they risk everything for a small chance of success? But can they afford not to?

I guess this is the end of the series????? Doesn't appear to be any more in the future. This one was copyright 2012. Too bad, I've always liked this series. It got better as time went on.
It's like the author just disappeared. Anybody heard anything????? 😒

I was getting all my books on my Piccollage for this month. Suddenly I realized it was MY BIGGEST READING MONTH THIS YEAR! 28 Books!
Yes several were short stories, children's books and about half were Audible reads. But still - Damn. 🤓

This is the fourth instalment of The Marriage Bureau for Rich People series. I really enjoy this series. It is funny, but it also deals with some difficult social issues in a humane way. It's a bit convoluted to explain how this book deals with today's theme but it does!

Give this series a try if you want to experience various aspects of Indian culture in a fun, interesting way.
