What she quickly learns in Delhi about renting an apartment as a single woman--it's next to impossible--and the proper way for women in India to ride scooters--perched sideways--are early signs that life here is less Westernized than she'd counted on. Living in Delhi for more than five years, Kennedy experiences friendships, love affairs, and losses that open a window onto the opaque world of Indian politics and culture--and alter her own attitudes about everything. In her effort to understand the hopes and dreams that motivate her new friends, Kennedy peels back India's globalized image as a land of call centers and fast-food chains and finds an ancient place where, in many ways, women's lives have scarcely changed for centuries.--From publisher description. 505 0 $a Are you alone? -- Boyfriended -- Pious virgins and brave-hearted heroes -- A whiskey-drinking woman -- Cooked by Brahmin hands -- Ladies only -- A million matches -- The Brahmin versus the untouchable -- Seven lifetimes -- A modest dowry -- The boy will do -- Too much passion for this world -- Curves -- The bride who showed her teeth -- Any issue? -- A game in which my name was -- Epilogue. 650 0 $a Women $z Delhi $z Delhi $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Women $z Delhi $z Delhi $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Women $z Delhi $z Delhi $x Biography. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $z Delhi. $z Delhi. 650 0 $a Love $x Social aspects $z Delhi. $z Delhi. 600 10 $a Kennedy, Miranda. 651 0 $a Delhi (India) $x Description and travel. 651 0 $a Delhi (India) $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Delhi (India) $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Social change $z Delhi. $z Delhi. 941 $a 13 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611022433.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722030428.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204042550.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110024739.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006055632.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720035849.0 952 $l MBPE423 $d 20180717033718.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418082229.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20160923034616.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202051330.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20150911030026.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20110513010326.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20110504010623.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DD3F7318761311E0B56D34CB6AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
