|
SummarySabeeha Johnson's story, THE SPICE BAZAAR, is
about Nalini,
a marketing executive born in the U.S.A. of Indian parents.
She
chooses to have a match made for her after dating blonds
and
realizing she wants a husband who shares her traditions and
values
in raising a family. She goes to THE SPICE BAZAAR, an Indian
grocery store/restaurant to meet the Indian accountant the
matchmaker and
her parents have selected for her, as they said, to balance
her
whimsical, freewheeling spirit, with a quiet, deliberate
personality.
When she meets Lokesh, sparks fly. She doesn't know that
he's
not the accountant. And he's reluctant to 'fess up for more
reasons
than the fact he's fallen instantly in love with her. Additional InformationPLAYING WITH MATCHES...is the first Asian romance anthology
by four Asian writers spinning tales of modern day
matchmaking
in Asian communities in the U.S. Matchmaking goes awry in
Indian, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese communities to
bring
true and everlasting love. Katherine Greyle, Karen
Harbaugh, Sabeeha
Johnson and Cathy Yardley present happy endings while
explaining
cultural loyalties, pressures and demands.
