Destination Wedding
by Diksha Basu
Destination Wedding is a typical Big Fat Indian wedding with a “masala” twist as we call it! Read it while you’re travelling or having a cup of tea enjoying your evening or with a glass of wine, this book fits all your moods.
Tina, an American Indian born and raised in the States, has always struggled to belong there and while her work and extended family brings her closer to her roots in India, she isn’t too sure if she’d fit there too.
Tina with her best friend Marianne, her mother Radha, Radha’s American boyfriend David Smith, and her dad Neel Das are all travelling to India for a close wedding. They reach their destination in Delhi and through the cast of these characters, we get to see their lives, relationships and culture and live their stories.
Be it Marianne, always looking for a spark in men and unsure about the “normal” she’s about to settle for or Radha, who after years of marriage and divorce knows her heart isn’t the one for commitment but only longs companionship, or Mr Das who takes a leap and decides to go for a date arranged by a matchmaker.
Glamorous, witty and a light hearted read driven by the stories of these characters and how they find themselves with their unusualness.
What did not work for me was that I wasn’t totally invested in the main character(s), didn’t care for their little too extravagant problems and felt that they were underdeveloped.
This isn’t something I’d usually go for, but I did enjoy some moments with Mr Das and Mrs Sethi, Nono and Rajesh.
