About this audiobook
Gilmore Girls meets vibrant New Delhi in this thoughtful and hilarious new novel about a teen facing family expectations, relationship complications, and hidden secrets in a new country—sprinkled with Sheba Karim’s signature wit and steamy romance, and perfect for readers who loved Mary H. K. Choi’s Emergency Contact and Adib Khorram’s Darius the Great Is Not Okay.
To cure her post-senior year slump, made worse by the loss of her aunt Sonia, Noreen decides to follow her mom on a gap year trip to New Delhi, hoping India can lessen her grief and bring her voice back.
In the world’s most polluted city, Noreen soon meets kind, handsome Kabir, who introduces her to the wonders of this magical, complicated place. With the help of Kabir—plus Bollywood celebrities, fourteenth-century ruins, karaoke parties, and Sufi saints—Noreen discovers new meanings for home.
But when a family scandal erupts, Noreen and Kabir must face complex questions in their own relationship: What does it mean to truly stand by someone—and what are the boundaries of love?
Editor's Note
Playful and warm…
Take a trip to New Delhi with Noreen, who’s mourning the loss of her maternal aunt. She proves to be a great travel companion, keeping up a stream of witty banter with her mom (à la Rory and Lorelai in “Gilmore Girls”) and unafraid to see all that New Delhi has to offer with Kabir, her love interest. “The Marvelous Mirza Girls” is a playful and warm story of self-discovery and worldly exploration.
