A really enjoyable read and fascinating for me to read as a white woman. On the one hand, I completely related to the stress of planning a wedding. And on the other, I knew very little about desi weddings and the traditions and culture and The Big Day is a brilliant snapshot into another culture. Regardless of culture, at its core it is a story about family. And Noor’s relationship with her mother, Leena, is particularly close, as she has been a single mother to Noor. But their bond is threatened as Leena turns into a ‘Mumzilla’ and when secrets from the past ultimately rise.
