Trade Paperback - New
The first ever Sri Lankan-American LGBT novel is warm, beautiful, and moving; this debut is a sharp exploration of how culture and family can both offer comfort and support, and also put terrible pressures on those who are different.
"Lucky" has been living a lie in the Massachusetts Tamil community--she and her husband, both secretly gay, present an illusion of marital bliss to their conservative Sri Lankan-American families while dating on the side. Lucky reconnects with her first lover, Nisha, who prepares for her own arranged wedding--but Nisha seems torn between the wedding and Lucky. And after a decade's worth of lying, can Lucky break free of her own circumstances, and build a new life? Is she willing to walk away from all that she values about her parents and community to live in a new truth?
