Before leaving India, an astrologer told her she would meet the man of her dreams in a certain month of a certain year. The time has arrived, and Gita is seeing prospects everywhere. More than a simple love story, Gita’s life takes twists and turns both in the U. S. and in India. Can one have love without marriage? Should one accept a marriage without love? Gita has always been entranced by the stories of her youth, and the beautiful saris her Saroj Aunty has named. But what are the stories telling her and can they help her find a future in America? And if she finds her path, will her family still in India be able to understand and accept it? Narayan, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has written an empathic narrative giving new perspective of two cultures. Gita Das is attending graduate school at Berkeley.

This is a great book to get a bit of the flavor of India, and of Indians learning to survive in America. Narayan is a wonderful writer, and a professor at the University of Madison. Personally, I’m anxiously awaiting Narayan’s next book. Love, Stars, and All That.doc nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
For Gita, a shy Indian graduate student at Berkeley, life is a complex whirl of new friends, culture shock, creative survival on a graduate stipend, and, of course, romance. Gita's beloved Aunty has consulted her astronumerologist and, according to the stars, Gita is soon destined to meet her jori--or, as they say in America, Mr. Right. Author signings.

Love, Stars, and All That is a sweet and thoughtful examination of gender roles, academia, and the art of juggling two national identities. It is not always gentle or even-handed in its depictions of secondary buffoons, such as lecherous professors and self-absorbed poets, but Gita herself undergoes a marvelous flowering during the course of the novel.
