Saturday Morning Omelettes

Riya and Amit have an arranged marriage and Riya hopes that theirs will be a bond blessed by love and companionship. They wed in India, but financial problems in the family dictate a new life in America. Finding herself surrounded by the temptations of a society of affluence and consumerism, Riya watches helplessly as her husband slowly slips into a world of addictions. They return to India united, though deeply scarred and irrevocably changed. Life proves to be neither predictable nor easy, and the author presents a finale as surprising as it is disturbing. Saturday Morning Omelettes is a colorfully woven tapestry of east and west. The struggles of young Riya and her husband have been subtly paralleled to the classic Hindu tale of Lord Ram and his passionate, troubled, and nearly tragic marriage to Sita. As the author reminds the reader throughout this novel, the epic is classic and timeless - beyond myth and culture.
