Sinossi

In 'Tante,' Anne Douglas Sedgwick masterfully blends elements of fiction and autobiography, encapsulating the complexities of familial bonds and the mirroring of personal and social identities. The narrative unfolds through the reflections of its protagonist, who grapples with her relationships, particularly with her enigmatic aunt, intertwining themes of feminist consciousness with early 20th-century societal mores. Sedgwick's lyrical prose, coupled with her incisive dialogue, presents a vivid tableau that invites readers to contemplate the subtleties of interpersonal dynamics against a backdrop of emerging modernity. Sedgwick, an influential figure in early 20th-century literature, drew upon her own experiences as an expatriate American in Europe to inform her storytelling. Her dual heritage, coupled with her exposure to various literary movements, endowed her work with a nuanced understanding of identity crises that resonated during her time. 'Tante' emerges as a reflection of her beliefs about women's roles, both within the domestic sphere and society at large, shedding light on the struggles for autonomy and self-definition that characterized the era. This compelling novel is a must-read for those interested in feminist literature, narrative complexity, and the exploration of personal identity. Sedgwick's captivating storytelling and character development will engage readers who appreciate historical contexts while reflecting on timeless themes of love, loss, and the search for belonging. 'Tante' stands as a testament to Sedgwick's literary prowess, making it a worthy addition to any scholarly collection.

    Winner of the Bookbrunch Selfie Award for Best Adult Fiction. Meet the brown Bridget Jones... 
    A British-Bengali girl looking for Mr Right. A motley crew of men, some hoping it’s them. A mum on a mission to match make. And an age-old tradition with a twist. Welcome to the world of the arranged marriage. 
    “While I’m young, (somewhat) free and single, time is – by Bengali standards – marching on. I’ve got to meet my dream man, or at least someone I can grow to like, and get married. The trouble is, I don’t really know what – or who – I’m looking for. 
    Luckily (or not) for me, arranged marriages are still a thing. So alongside my own dating efforts, it’s everyone’s business – from my adorable yet overbearing mum, to pretend aunties and profiteering opportunists – to find me a match. With all this help, I’m pretty sure I’ll land a husband, but will he be ‘The One’?” 
    The Secret Diary of an Arranged Marriage lifts the lid on the intriguing world of British-Bengali matrimony. The debut novel from former journalist Halima Khatun explores family, identity and belonging with acerbic humour. 
    It’ll change your view of matchmaking for good…
