How It Happened (PB)

Dadi the imperious matriarch of the Bandian family in Karachi swears by the virtues of arranged marriage. All her ancestors – including a dentally and optically challenged aunt – have been perfectly well-served by such arrangements. But her grandchildren are harder to please.. Haroon the apple of her eye has to suffer half a dozen candidates until he finds the perfect Shia-Syed girl of his dreams. But it is Zeba his sister who has the tougher time as she is accosted by a bevy of suitors including a potbellied cousin and a banker who reeks of sesame oil.. Told by the witty hawk-eyed Saleha the precocious youngest sibling this is a romantic amusing and utterly delightful story about how marriages are made and unmade---not in heaven but in the drawing room and over the phone.
