Here, she reunites with her high school lover, Nisha, who is about to enter into an arranged marriage. Lucky’s life gets complicated when her elderly grandmother is injured in a fall and she has to return to the family home to help care for her.
She meets Indian Kris when he is on a student visa at the college they both attend, where she recognizes him as “the only other South Asian queer on campus.” The two realize that marriage will placate parents suspicious of their sexuality, permit Kris to stay in the country, and allow them to conduct their affairs in private. Lucky, born Lakshmi, is a second-generation Tamil Sri Lankan who grew up in a wealthy suburb of Boston.
An unusual marriage of convenience sets in motion Sindu’s perceptive, subtle, and provocative first novel.
