«Tanaya toglie il velo» is the novel by Kavita Daswani, published by Mondadori in hardback (210 pages, in Italian).
Tanaya, a young woman from Bombay raised by a conservative grandfather, travels to Paris to meet her Indian suitor before the wedding. Fascinated by the city, she decides to stay and, after humble jobs, is discovered by a talent scout who turns her into a Muslim model, defying family traditions in her quest for freedom and identity.
The work was originally published as «Salaam, Paris»; this 2006 Italian edition belongs to the Omnibus collection by Mondadori.
For readers of contemporary fiction and chick lit: stories of cultural clash, female emancipation and romance between Bombay and Paris.
Kavita Daswani is an Indian-American author. Her novels, such as Salaam, Paris, deal with the Indian practice of arranged marriages, and features heroines that refuse to go along with tradition.
