Hoping that a few months with her uncle, an MIT grad student, will soften the girl’s rigid thinking, they get more than they bargained for: Feroza, enthralled by American culture and her new freedom, insists on staying. A bargain is struck, allowing Feroza to attend college with the understanding that she will return home and marry well. As a student in a small western town, Feroza’s perceptions of America, her homeland, and herself begin to alter. When she falls in love with and wants to marry a Jewish American, her family is aghast. Feroza realizes just how far she has come — and wonders how much further she can go. This delightful coming-of-age novel is both remarkably  a remarkably funny and acute portrayal of America as seen through the eyes of a perceptive young immigrant.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Milkweed Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180755173616,"sku":"9781571318299","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781571318299_p0.jpg?v=1769899917","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781571318299","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
