Oh what fun!
“A thriving arranged-marriage bureau in contemporary India resides at the heart of Zama's charming debut.
As business picks up, Mr. Ali, (who started the project in retirement to pass time), takes on a young assistant, Aruna, a poor Hindu girl, who helps him formulate happy unions. While the bureau prospers, Mr. Ali and his wife contend with their headstrong son, a human rights advocate who worries them constantly, and Aruna faces her dismal home life and a handsome young client who may want more from her than lists of potential matches.
Zama's delightful world of mid-morning tea breaks, afternoon siestas, picnics in mango groves and meddlesome aunties is a pleasant place to hang out.”
All’s well that ends well!
