The Marriage Bureau for Rich People is a sweet novel about a retired government official in India who decides to set up a Marriage Bureau. He helps families find appropriate brides and grooms for their family members' arranged marriages. There are some side stories that help show other sides of modern day India, such as one about how his son has become an activist fighting for the rights of farmers against encroachment from industry and another about his assistant's troubles that stem from financial hardships suffered by her father. It was a light novel that taught me a lot about modern day Indian culture, both how it is changing and how it has remained the same. Each couple helped by the agency showed the reader something about a different segment of Indian culture. It wasn't a deep novel, the story remained light and the characters were not complicated, but I really enjoyed it as a fun and easy read. It showed me aspects of Indian culture that I was unaware of and I am glad I picked it up.
