The Immigrant - Manju Kapur
Nina is a thirty-year-old English lecturer in New Delhi, living with her widowed mother and struggling to make ends meet. When Ananda´s sister proposes an arranged marriage between the two, Nina is uncertain: can she really give up her home and her country to build a new life with a husband she barely knows? Ananda has recently emigrated to Halifax, Canada; having spent his twenties painstakingly building his career, he searches for something to complete his new life.
As the two of them struggle to adapt to married life, Nina´s whole world is thrown into question. The consequences of change are far greater than she could have imagined. And as she discovers truths about her husband - both sexual and emotional - her fragile new life in Canada begins to unravel.
Tender and compelling, The Immigrant is an honest exploration of a marriage, what it costs to start again - and what we can never leave behind.
