Can anyone recommend some good fiction books about arranged marriages? – TheBookSwarm

Love me forever by Nora Roberts . Try also Gentle Feuding -Johanna Lindsey

Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows deals with the subject.

I just finished it – and second the recommendation.

Me too

Although a children’s book, Sarah, Plain and Tall, by Patricia MacLachlan, is about a mail-order bride. It was the 1986 Newbery Winner.

I just read The Good Earth by Pearl S Buck. The novel is about so many things, but arranged marriage is in the core of the reading.

The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo!

I was going to recommend this one as well.

many of the short stories by Jhumpa Lahiri talk about arranged marriages from India, she is a great writer!

A thousand splendid suns

A thousand Splendid Suns, the Pearl that Broke it’s Shell

Shabanu by Suzanne Fisher Staples is a classic.

For Matrimonial Purposes by Kavita Daswani

Chitra Divakaruni writes a lot about that. I think she even has a book of short stories called Arranged Marriages. Sister of my Heart was also wonderful

the Matched series is good! It’s young adult and dystopian but I enjoyed it!!
