"Be strong, my Abela." These are the last words of Abela's mother in their HIV/Aids stricken African village, where it seems that to live or to die, to be sick or to be healthy, is just a matter of chance. It takes all Abela's strength to survive her Uncle Thomas's scheming to get to Europe, but what will be her fate as an illegal immigrant? "I don't want a sister or brother," thinks Rosa in England, when her mother tells her that she wants to adopt a child. Could these two girls ever become sisters? Is there room in Rosa's family for an African orphan haunted by lions? Is there room in their hearts? Abela is a powerful and moving story influenced by a visit to Africa, from the Carnegie Medal-winning author Berlie Doherty writing at her very best.

Mia has hit an all-time low. Lilly isn't speaking to her. Someone is posting horrible things about her on ihatemiathermopolis.com.

Neel è un anestesista, fiero di essere una persona razionale e decisa, dentro e fuori la sala operatoria. Quando la madre lo richiama in India perché sposi una brava ragazza indiana, Neel non si scompone: lui ha già una fidanzata a San Francisco e una carriera ben avviata, un matrimonio combinato è l’ultima cosa che gli passa per la testa. Leila ha trentacinque anni ma non è ancora stata promessa a nessuno: la famiglia è troppo povera per procurarle una dote e inoltre si vocifera di una sua relazione segreta con un ragazzo musulmano. L’apparente libertà americana si confronterà con le tradizioni e le usanze indiane quando le vite di Neel e Leila si uniranno nel più improbabile dei matrimoni combinati. Entrambi saranno costretti a lottare per conciliare i propri desideri con le aspettative delle famiglie e dovranno imparare a conoscersi a fondo. La moglie indiana segna l’esordio di un’autrice che ha sperimentato sulla propria pelle il distacco dalla terra natia e l’integrazione in un nuovo Paese, con un romanzo capace di ricreare tutto il complesso e contraddittorio fascino di un mondo esotico.
