Book Review: Mr. Joshi’s Bride

Author: Vani

A contemporary romance crafted with tinges of family drama from India and abroad.

Parshuraman Joshi is a 27-year-old ideal marriage material for every eligible woman because he is well-bred, educated and, most of all, an NRI. Having lost his parents as a child Parshu has been the apple of the eye of his maternal aunt, Parvati, his grandmother and sister, Ragini. The sole aim of the woman folk is to see him ‘settled’ in marital bliss before… he finds himself a ‘gori’.

What follows, is a family drama with the roller coasters of ‘meeting’ eligible girls to Parshu finding himself ‘engaged’ and being stood up at the altar. However, Parshu develops feelings for his colleague, Jennifer. But is that genuine or an infatuation? What about the woman who left him at the altar? He had thought he could spend a life with her as well.

Did Parshu know what he wanted, eventually?

The author uses simple language and has good timing with the funny moments that leave a reader smiling throughout Parshu’s over-the-top or a bit too-subtle shenanigans.

You can’t help but fall in love with the lead characters however quirky they are!
