Author Description

"A college education in England has exposed Sita to Western ways and to a handsome, young American, Ned, who is doing research in London. There is mutual attraction, but Sita is expected to return to India for an arranged marriage to Raj. Raj and Sita marry believing in honoring their parents and customs, but Raj has fallen in love with Tela, a half-caste who is not accepted in his society. Sita struggles between her cultural confines and a way of life quite different from that prescribed for her to take charge of her life and follow her heart."--Back cover.
