Book Description
Bollywood comes to Berkshire . . . Life couldn't be better for Erin Boswell. At twenty-seven, she is engaged to the simply divine Jay Keskar - and every minute of her day revolves around planning the wedding of her dreams. That is, until, Jay's parents announce that they want to 'discuss' things, and Erin's wedding heaven turns into her wedding hell . . . Tavish and Deena are Indian parents with very firm beliefs about the kind of wedding their only son should have. Of course, they say, Erin will be wearing a sari. And of course all the Indian pre-wedding ritual ceremonies - including tilak, mehendi and sangeet - will be observed. As Bollywood comes to Berkshire, can East eventually meet West in perfect harmony? And if not, will Erin and Jay's dream wedding even take place . . .? Praise for Christina Jones: 'Magical' Heat 'Fabulous The Times 'A wonderful writer' Jill Mansell, author of AND NOW YOU'RE BACK 'H.E. Bates for the 21st Century' Katie Fforde 'Christina is simply THE BEST . . . I don't think she is capable of writing anything which isn't excellent' Reader review

Book Description
This book provides a first systematic and comprehensive account of English in East and South Asia (EESA) based on current research by scholars in the field. It has several unique features. Firstly, it provides a rigorous theoretical overview that is necessary for the understanding of EESA in relation to the burgeoning works on World Englishes as a discipline. Secondly, in the section on linguistic features, a systematic template was made available to the contributors so that linguistic coverage of the variety/varieties is similar. Thirdly, the vibrancy of the sociolinguistic and pragmatic realities that govern actual English in use in a wide variety of domains such as social media, the Internet and popular culture/music are discussed. Finally, this volume includes an extensive bibliography of works on EESA, thus providing a useful and valuable resource for language researchers, linguists, classroom educators, policymakers and anyone interested in the topic of EESA or World Englishes. This volume hopes to advance understanding of the spread and development of the different sub-varieties reflecting both the political developments and cultural norms in the region.
