Pocket Guide to Being an Indian Girl
B.K. Mahal (About this author)

This is the touching and funny tale of teenager Sushminder and her struggles to survive in two conflicting cultures.

With a set of rules that detail how to be a good Indian girl, Susham Dillon desperately tries to make some sense of her life and to stop making a fool of herself. Born and bred in Dudley, she stumbles from one social slip to another, confounding expectations of what it means to be a good Indian girl. College is a disaster, not least because of her annoying bottle blonde cousin Sammy, while the dashing Arjun complicates matters further. Her home life is a living nightmare with her sister Kully's wedding festivities fast approaching. Her younger sister Kiz is a Bhangra Chick convinced of her imminent stardom in Bollywood, and don't even mention her brother.
