Talking Is Wasted Breath - Daughters Of Destiny - E-book - ePub

In a world where family expectations outweigh personal desires, tradition isn't simply a guide-it's an ironclad rule. Madhav is a young man with an engineering job that pays rather well. He also has: A mother who doesn't understand why it is so wrong to demand dowry for her son. Especially when she paid out a generous dowry for her daughter. A father who feels so obligated to his beautiful wife for consenting to marry him, he will not deny her.
A grandfather whose wacky schemes occupy his own time and Madhav's. A grandmother whose sharp tongue hides a kind heart. A girl who has possession of his heart but not of the dowry his mother so desires. Traditionally, as the eldest son, Madhav must marry a woman who will perform his ancestors' afterlife rituals-a responsibility he's ready to shoulder. Yet, when it comes to selecting a bride, he'd rather deviate from tradition and choose his own partner-an idea his parents are not willing to accept. Set in rural India, where old traditions and new ideas often collide, Talking Is Wasted Breath is a compelling drama about the challenges of generational differences, societal pressures, and the power of love.
In a world where family ties are both valued and limiting, the story follows one man's search for happiness as he disrupts long-standing traditions. Engaging and insightful, this novel explores themes of change, hope, and the complexities of human relationships. ? This book was previously called 28 Years A Bachelor.?
