Yes yes yes! Shadow of the Moon is at the top of my DIK list. I first read The Far Pavilions and then “found” Shadow. Another much enjoyed title with an Indian main character was Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand. Mrs. Ali was wonderful – and even more enjoyable in audio format…wait, I should be posting with Lea on AudioBooks!

I read somewhere that they were only interested in urban Indian settings, so most of the books will likely be set in Mumbai, Delhi, and similar cities.

I sincerely hope you enjoy THE RELUCTANT MATCHMAKER as much you did THE FULL MOON BRIDE. I appreciate your continued support.

I can’t count how many times I’ve read it. It grieves me that Valerie Fitzgerald seems to have never written anything else.

The one Harlequin book I read about a Bollywood actress was written by an Irish author and while it was certainly good it lacked some of the depth that I think having an Indian writer would have added.

Thanks so much for posting! I didn’t get a chance to read “The Reluctant Matchmaker” before writing this blog but I have it on my TBR. It looks like a wonderful story.

Ms. Banerjes’s books are great aren’t they? They always leave me with a positive feeling after putting them down. I think of them as “happy” books – you feel happier after reading them.

I would be curious to see if some of these make it to the UK or US markets.
