The Marriage Bureau for Rich People by Farahad Zama
4.0
4/4.5 stars
If you like the pacing and storytelling of [b:The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency|7061|The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency #1)|Alexander McCall Smith|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1459953654l/7061._SY75_.jpg|826298] then you should absolutely give this book a try. It is delightful light fiction.
Mr. Ali lives in Visakhapatnam (AKA Vizag), is recently retired, and is driving Mrs. Ali crazy. So, naturally, Mr. Ali decides to start a marriage bureau on their veranda to keep himself busy and out of Mrs. Ali's way. Such a fun premise and interesting insight into the local marriage traditions (as well as how they are changing...).
The book is highly episodic (one of the ways it reminded me of No. 1 L. D. A.), with, of course, some important plot elements woven throughout. This is not a heavy book. Even though caste, religious differences, and politics are touched on, it is done so gently. I would love to read more by this author!
