(Un)arranged Marriage - Bali Rai
Set partly in the UK and partly in the Punjab region of India, “(Un)arranged Marriage” is a perceptive look at a young man’s fight to free himself from family expectations and an arranged marriage he doesn’t want.
“(Un)arranged Marriage” is a moving story of alienation and identity, the story follows teenager Manny as he struggles to maintain his links to his family and live his own life.
“The toilets in the motorway service station at Leicester Forest East stank of disinfectant. But at least they were warm compared to the biting wind that was kicking up outside in the car park - where my two brothers Harry and Ranjit were waiting for me. Waiting to take me to Derby, to a wedding–my wedding. A wedding that I hadn’t asked for, to a girl who I didn’t know.”
On the morning of his marriage, which also happens to be the morning of his 17th birthday, Manny looks back on his rebellious teenage years…

Thank you Nancy I’m glad you like the new Library. I think it’s fantastic too. We already have Francine Pascal books in the Library including the Fearless series. If you have trouble finding them please ask a member of staff and we will show you where they are.
I visited the library and the range of books was great!! i will definitely go again!

Hello Adnaan,
I’m sorry I can’t give you a date when the Y7 free books will arrive but hopefully it should not be too long.
Thanks for your comments Faris I’m glad you like the new Library. You are not allowed to play games on the Academy’s computers because they’re to be used by students who want to do their school work. There are new books in the Library on cars if you would like to pop in we can help you find them.

i read this book and thouroghly enjoyed it I loved it so much i have bought it and am giving it as presents for christmas.
Shaun - a couple of new cookery books have just arrived in the Library. Just ask the Library staff if you can’t find them.
Sorry Ashley-Louise I wish I could tell you when the free books will arrive but I can’t. We have sent off the order and will just have to wait and see. Every Year 7 in the country is entitled to a free book so the suppliers couldn’t give us a date when ours will arrive.
