About this title

Synopsis:

To those customers who visit her Indian spice shop in Oakland, Tilo dispenses wisdom and the appropriate spice - coriander for sight, turmeric to erase wrinkles and fenugreek to make a rejected wife desirable again. Tilo's powers however are conditional - they vanish the moment she falls in love.

Review:

"For ARRANGED MARRIAGE, 'As irresistible as the impulse which leads her characters to surface to maturity, raising their heads above the floods of silver ignorance'" (New York Times Book Review)
