title: Leela's Book: A Novel
author:  Alice Albinia 
description: A big, sprawling tale centered on a wedding that brings two families together, Albinias second novel is inspired by theMahabharata, the classic Indian epic. The epics narrator, the god Ganesh, tells of two sisters, Leela and Meera, who have reincarnated together throughout the ages. In this current iteration, Meera married a vain scholar, Vyasa, who published her poetry after her death. Leela, estranged from Meera after her marriage to Vyasa, married Hari, a wealthy businessman, and fled India for New York. Now, 25 years later, the marriage of Meera and Vyasas son, Ash, to Haris niece, Sunita, brings Leela reluctantly back to India, much to the delight of Vyasa, who has secretly been carrying a torch for Leela. The reunion forces Leela to confront not only the reason behind her estrangement from Meera but also a long-held secret. And Leelas not the only one with a secret: Ash has feelings for someone other than his bride, while Sunitas father commits a heinous act after the wedding. An enticing tale filled with colorful characters and surprising twists. --Kristine Huntley
