Arranged Marriage: Part I
by P. Torres Ana GomesXIX century Most marriages in high society were arranged in order to benefit both families. Not taking into account the victims of this forced union. The chosen ones were forced to sacrifice themselves, giving up their dreams and their wills, to attend to the vagaries of their lineage. Not taking into account that the main element for this intimate construction would be left out. Because it does not matter or is not accepted by many who have never known it.

Arranged: A Novel
by Catherine McKenzieA writer reconsiders her approach to love when she mistakenly calls an arranged marriage service in this offbeat romance by the author of Spin.“Arranged is a rare book: smart, funny, honest, and absorbing.” —Therese Walsh, author of The Last Will of Moira LeahyAnne Blythe has a great life: a good job, close friends, and a potential book deal for her first novel. When it comes to finding someone to share her life with, however, she just can’t seem to get it right. After her latest relationship implodes, and her best friend announces she’s engaged, Anne impulsively calls what she thinks is a dating service—only to discover that it’s actually an exclusive, and pricey, arranged marriage service. Anne initially rejects the idea, but the more she learns about the service, the more she thinks: Why not? After all, arranged marriages are the norm for millions of women around the world; maybe it could work for her.A few months later, Anne is traveling to a Mexican resort, where, over the course of a weekend, she meets and then marries Jack. And initially, everything seems to be working out . . . “A satisfying and entertaining romantic tale that puts a contemporary twist on old-fashioned ideas about marriage. I inhaled it in an afternoon, rooting for its heroine to find the love she longs for.” —Leah Stewart, author of Husband and Wife“This is chick lit for real women, featuring a smart, competent heroine with a hopeless romantic streak . . . The humor ranges from biting sarcasm to slapstick, and the narrative voice is compulsively readable . . . Fans of Jennifer Weiner and Jennifer Crusie have found a new author to watch.” —Booklist (starred review)
