About this product
Product Information
Lucky is an unemployed millennial programmer. Her husband, Krishna, is an editor for a greeting card company. Both are secretly gay, presenting their conservative Sri Lankan-American families with a heterosexual front while dating on the side. When Lucky's grandmother falls, Lucky returns to her mother's home and unexpectedly reconnects with her childhood friend and first lover, Nisha. When the two rekindle old romantic feelings, Lucky tries to save Nisha from entering a marriage based on a lie and finds herself pushed to breaking point. A moving exploration of love and queerness.

Reviews
Praise for Marriage of a Thousand Lies " A remarkable novel rich with interlocking issues both timeless and timely. SJ Sindu''s debut is more than impressive; it''s important." --Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain "I love Lucky, the unforgettable narrator of Marriage of a Thousand Lies . She has taken a place among my favorite misfits in literature, a young woman longing for love and tradition and celebration and family even as she defies expectations and navigates her own paths. I''m especially captivated by the novel''s honesty and tenderness--SJ Sindu is an intuitive writer with great insights into the complications of love and friendship." --Timothy Schaffert, author of The Swan Gondola "SJ Sindu has written an important novel about Sri Lankan immigrant culture. Here, the intersections of migration, sexuality and culture are explored in loving and heartbreaking detail. A book that reveals the secrets of a community caught between East and West." --Nayomi Munaweera, author of Island of a Thousand Mirrors "Entertaining." --The Toronto Star "[A] perceptive, subtle, and provocative first novel. Sindu''s characters are all believably complicated and compassionately observed, and she anchors the central tension between individuality and ties to family in concrete scenes from Lucky''s life. The author''s quirky sense of humor and matter-of-fact take on a potentially fraught situation keep the tone of the novel deceptively light, resulting in a moving and memorable story." --Publishers Weekly "Enthralling . . . Sindu is a skilled writer, and this is a remarkable first novel." -- Los Angeles Review of Books " Marriage of a Thousand Lies is a beautiful exploration of queer South Asian-American identity. With both a compelling plot and a beautifully crafted cast of characters, this novel is a must-read." --Lambda Literary " Marriage of a Thousand Lies is a rare book, written from a queer, South Asian perspective, but a welcome addition to an all-too-small canon." --Houston Press "[Sindu] has written a debut novel that is honest and moving--a complex story about a Sri-Lankan family and a strong female protagonist who struggles with her own identity against a backdrop of deep traditions and community." -- Tallahassee Democrat "Sindu''s heart-wrenching debut novel . . . incorporates love, loss, family, rebirth and growth to tell a captivating story you won''t be able to put down." -- Ms. Magazine " Marriage of a Thousand Lies is a fascinating work." -- PASTE Magazine "Sindu takes on the conflict between love of family and of oneself with clarity and laughs." --NOW Magazine "So good . . . heartbreaking in the way it portrayed the characters torn between happiness and custom. SJ Sindu does a beautiful job describing how Lucky feels about living a secret life and her fear of disappointing her parents, and the language and imagery is gorgeous." --BookRiot "SJ Sindu''s fine debut [is] a timely tale with themes of immigration, free will, identity, and personal choice." -- Booklist "An important intervention in the canons of both LGBTQ and South Asian literature. Marriage of a Thousand Lies is not only important: it''s also a beautiful book, with fresh, tidy prose, and complex, flawed characters, a novel that is at once sad and hopeful." --Autostraddle " Marriage of a Thousand Lies is a deeply affecting work in many ways." --The Aerogram "A well-written debut . . . brings to light the layers of struggles that shape our decisions on how we choose to live our lives. " --BookTrib "A poignant, heart-warming love story." -- Youth Ki Awaaz
