In "Behind the Veil," a romantic Indian Muslim woman falls in love with a
man on the basis of a story he wrote. She conjures up an unshakable
image of him and forces her family to arrange her marriage to him--sight
unseen. Her relatives and friends try to dissuade her, but she remains
adamant. She finally meets her husband on the wedding night and gets the
shock of her life--but that's just the beginning of her story.
Unfolding against a sweeping vista of a changing India, the novel brims
with unforgettable portraits of men and women, princes and commoners,
Muslims and Hindus. It vividly portrays a time and place, and the
passions, vanities, insecurities, insights and errors of its very human
characters.
