The mango season

Priya Rao left Indian when she was twenty to study in the United States, and she's never been back. Now, seven years later, she's out of excuses. She has to return and give her family the news: She's engaged to Nick Collins, a kind, loving American man. Marrying a foreigner is going to break their hearts. Returning to India is an overwhelming experience for Priya. Things that used to seem natural (a buffalo strolling down a newly laid asphalt road, for example) now seems strange. But Priya's relatives remain the same. Her mother and father insist that it's time they arranged her marriage to a "nice Indian boy." Just as Priya begins to feel she could never possibly tell her family about her engagement, a secret is revealed that leaves her stunned. Now she is forced to choose between the love of her family and the love of her life.
