An Enormously English Monsoon Wedding cover

Monsoon Wedding/Bombay Dreams/Bend it Like Beckham in book form.

Bollywood comes to Berkshire . . .

Life couldn't be better for Erin Boswell. At twenty-seven, she is engaged to the simply divine Jay Keskar - and every minute of her day revolves around planning the wedding of her dreams. That is, until, Jay's parents announce that they want to 'discuss' things, and Erin's wedding heaven turns into her wedding hell . . .

Tavish and Deena are Indian parents with very firm beliefs about the kind of wedding their only son should have. Of course, they say, Erin will be wearing a sari. And of course all the Indian pre-wedding ritual ceremonies - including tilak, mehendi and sangeet - will be observed.

As Bollywood comes to Berkshire, can East eventually meet West in perfect harmony? And if not, will Erin and Jay's dream wedding even take place . . .?
