The pocket guide to being an Indian girl - B. K Mahal

Susham Dillon, born and bred in Dudley in the north of England, has a talent of making a fool of herself, and she is forever crumbling people's social expectations of what it is to be a good Indian girl. Stumbling from one faux pas to the next, she talks of her adolescence, observing the differences that set her apart and makes an Indian girl's life more than just another arranged marriage. A witty tale in the tradition of Bend it Like Beckham that will have readers in stitches, this is a touching story of an Asian teenager striving to survive in two conflicting cultures.
