"When Cupid�s arrow strikes, it can make people do strange things and Ismet is no different. Getting off the train impulsively at the station, and ignoring the hard truth that the next train is scheduled to arrive only a week later, he sets off in hot pursuit to win �the most beautiful woman in the world�.
Wedding is set in South Africa and India. Readers will delight in the eccentric characters of Ahmedu, the village idiot, Rashida, Ismet’s shrewd mother, supervisor Vikram Naidoo and his wife Pravina, Jayraj Reddy and his wife Roshni and Charm Soolal. The lives of these characters are summed up in Coovadia's own words, "I wanted to restore the other story - the oddity of the many different kinds of lives that existed under apartheid."
This is a witty and entertaining read. A book lover’s delight !"
