Breeze From The River Manjeera
by Hema Macherla
Description
About this book: Hema Macherla’s hugely popular debut novel was short-listed for Richard & Judy and has won much well-deserved recognition since it was published.
It tells the story of the engaging Neela who arrives in England as a bride for the brutal Ajay. The life that awaits Neela is a far cry from her hopes and expectations. Treated worse than a servant by her in-laws, and unwanted by her husband, she finally escapes in search of independence and freedom. The novel explores in a personal, moving way the issues around the deep-rooted traditions of arranged marriages and the struggle for young women like Neela to find love and happiness.
The story-telling is gripping and plot-driven. The novel digs deep into the issues of arranged marriage but does so in a readable, personal way. Story-telling at its best.
About the author: Hema Macherla was born in the rural village of Atmakur, Andhrapradesh, India. She has published 25 short stories and a number of articles in Indian magazines. She lives with her husband in London and has two grown up children.
