A Lilly's Library Book Club Pick!
“A sparkling debut.” (Emily Giffin, number one New York Times best-selling author)
From a compelling new voice in women's fiction comes a mother-daughter story about three generations of women who struggle to define themselves as they pursue their dreams.
Simran Mehta has always felt harshly judged by her mother, Nandini, especially when it comes to her little "writing hobby". But when a charismatic and highly respected journalist careens into Simran's life, she begins to question not only her future as a psychologist, but her engagement to her high-school sweetheart.
Nandini Mehta has strived to create an easy life for her children in America. From dealing with her husband's demanding family to the casual racism of her patients, everything Nandini has endured has been for her children's sake. It isn’t until an old colleague makes her a life-changing offer that Nandini realizes she's spent so much time focusing on being the perfect Indian woman, she’s let herself slip away.
Mimi Kadakia failed her daughter, Nandini, in ways she'll never be able to fix—or forget. But with her granddaughter, she has the chance to be supportive and offer help when it's needed. As life begins to pull Nandini and Simran apart, Mimi is determined to be the bridge that keeps them connected, even as she carries her own secret burden.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"The family dynamics are familiar in the best way, reminding you that you’re not alone with whatever soft-shoe you’re performing beneath your own family tree."—New York Times Book Review
"This is a tender tale that never shies away from the tension at its root."—ELLE
"Well-Behaved Indian Women is a sparkling debut about family, identity, and finding the courage to pursue your own dreams. Saumya Dave is a bright new voice in women’s fiction.”—Emily Giffin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lies That Bind

Historia
Annabelle McKay knows she shouldn’t have any complaints. She’s been in a stable marriage that’s lasted almost three decades and has provided her with two wonderful children and thousands of family dinners around a sturdy oak table. Other wives envy the fact that Grant is not the type of man who would ever cheat on her or leave her for a younger woman. The trouble is Annabelle isn’t sure she wants to be married to Grant anymore. The trouble is she’s still in love with someone else.

Jaime Primak Sullivan, a Jersey-bred, tough-as-nails PR maven - and unlikely transplant in an upscale suburb of Birmingham, Alabama - has spent her entire life crossing the line: whether she's pushing the boundaries of what proper Southern ladies consider to be "polite behavior" or literally traversing the Mason-Dixon line in the name of love. She isn't afraid to say what everyone is thinking when it comes to love, sex, friendship, and many other topics that are all too often sugar-coated in polite Southern company.

That is, she did - right up until she hired mountain-guide Micah Gallagher to help raise revenues. Teeming with suspicion and intrigue, this Grand Teton adventure leaves listeners struggling with the Christian principle of forgiveness in the face of emotional entanglements, fears of the heart, and the inevitable agony of love.

My name is Courtney Jane Salinger...and I'm sick of games. Sick of the Friday night bar-scene-cum-meat-market. Sick of awful dates and one-night stands, booty calls and guys who don’t call back, mixed messages or no messages and - and - and...I'm sick of all of it. I’m done. It's too hard, and worse: little by little, it's making me hard. It's breaking my heart. What do I want? That's easy. I want a house in suburbia with a white picket fence. I want babies to buckle into a minivan. But most of all, I want to be married. I want a husband.

Historia
In the wake of her mother's death, Shalini, a privileged and restless young woman from Bangalore, sets out for a remote Himalayan village in the troubled northern region of Kashmir. Certain that the loss of her mother is somehow connected to the decade-old disappearance of Bashir Ahmed, a charming Kashmiri salesman who frequented her childhood home, she is determined to confront him. But upon her arrival, Shalini is brought face to face with Kashmir's politics, as well as the tangled history of the local family that takes her in. And then life in the village turns volatile and old hatreds threaten to erupt into violence.

Bhima, the unforgettable main character of Thrity Umrigar’s beloved national best seller, The Space Between Us, returns in this triumphant sequel - a poignant and compelling novel in which the former servant struggles against the circumstances of class and misfortune to forge a new path for herself and her granddaughter in modern India. Poor and illiterate, Bhima had faithfully worked for the Dubash family, an upper-middle-class Parsi household, for more than 20 years.

Historia
So begins Kaikeyi’s story. The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, she is raised on legends of the gods: how they churned the vast ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land of Bharat prospers, and how they offer powerful boons to the devout and the wise. Yet she watches as her father unceremoniously banishes her mother, listens as her own worth is reduced to how great a marriage alliance she can secure. And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear.

Historia
Likened to the works of Faulkner and Dickens when it was first published 20 years ago, this extraordinarily accomplished debut novel is a brilliantly plotted story of forbidden love and piercing political drama, centered on the tragic decline of an Indian family in the state of Kerala, on the southernmost tip of India. Armed only with the invincible innocence of children, the twins Rahel and Esthappen fashion a childhood for themselves in the shade of the wreck that is their family.

Good quick read
Good story reflecting the struggles faced by Indian women in modern times. Easy to listen to though narrator sounds a little robotic at times

Better to read than listen to audio format
The story manages to capture some of the Indian wedding complexities but in a shallow way. It depicts all Indian women has the self degenerating inner monologue which is probably far from reality. Dialogues are shallow, specially the ones given to lead character Simran. Narrator spoke those with even more annoyance. It probably is better if read than listened in audio form.

Misunderstood
This is one of my favorite novels that connects the indian american experience with the main characters. I understood my own mother more than ever before.

Very rich and well-developed characters
I really loved this book!! It does an incredible job of navigating through all the complex emotions of the main characters. You really feel like you know these people...they are just written so well. The story took a lot of unexpected turns, but I enjoyed all of them! Wonderful and heartfelt story about self-discovery at any age.

Good story, narration could improve
I enjoyed the story but the narration made it drag. The intonation of the voices made Simran seem like she was whining most of the time she was talking. The narrator’s pronunciation of certain Indian names and words (“Rahul”, “Beta”, “Mandir”) could use some improvement. It made it difficult for a first generation Indian-American to seriously relate to the book. Otherwise the story was interesting enough and I would definitely be interested to see what this author writes next.

Alright read, narration wasn’t great
The narration wasn’t the greatest - the accents and different intonations made it hard listen. The knock off desi accents were distracting.
Story was alright but left more to be desired. Felt shallow and scattered and inconsistent in some places.

Too much and not enough
The narration was hard to get over with one voice for all the characters, especially male ones. The story had some really great moments towards the end, but the ending just left too much hanging... not what I was expecting at all. I could imagine this being made into a screen play though... sounded like it was written to be a movie.

Well Behaved Indian Women by Saumya Dave
This is a bittersweet story of an Indian-American girl who navigates her adult life through the usual challenges of being an adult- relationships, career choices, friendships BUT with additional cultural complexities that come with Indian culture. So many elements within this book resonated with me and got me emotional. I'm sure many many Indian girls and women would be able to relate to a number of these challenges. Its an empowering story of breaking through generational trauma and limitations to find one's true self amidst all the chaos.
