A Newlywed’s Adventures in Married Land eBook Shweta Ganesh Kumar Reviews
This novella is a deceptively simple story, cleverly crafted using Alice in Wonderland as a frame of reference. Like Alice, Mythili, the heroine here, has fallen down the rabbit hole of newly married life in a strange land. And like Alice, again, the people she meets there are wondrously strange. Mythili is first beguiled by the notion of belonging and then repulsed as secrets begin to roll out of tightly shut closets, though she is not above using her circumstances to push her writing ambitions forward. This was among five books I bought from Indireads and certainly not the first one I intended to read. It merely happened to be the first one on the list on my e-reader. But once I had begun reading, I had to know what happened next to Mythili, even hurrying back from a decidedly sub-grade film to read further. Please can we have some more adventures, this time, maybe, from Mama-land?

Mythili a self confessed workaholic moves to Manila to start her married life with Sidharth. While marriage is a game of adjustment, she finds herself tumbling down the rabbit hole much like Alice.
A workaholic cannot become a domestic goddess overnight. But Mythili valiantly tries to get her act together. She tries to make friends but Sidharth’s colleagues are a weird bunch and their wives even weirder. She tries to find a job but the only HR Manager who is willing to talk to her turns out to have temporary amnesia!
Hilarious to the core, I think many women abroad would identify with Mythili. I especially loved the way Shweta juxtaposes Alice's wonderland experiences with that of Mythili's. A must read!
This was the first book that I read from Indireads and I enjoyed it immensely!
I loved the way the book starts with a prologue, the wedding of Kirti, Mythili’s sister and now, worldly wise Mythili advising her, “Kirti, it’s the start of a journey and…”. After the wedding is over, Mythili comes to her room, picks up her favourite book, Alice in Wonderland, and goes back three years, when she was a newlywed. The author has related the aspects of Mythili’s life to parts in Alice in Wonderland. I actually read Alice after this. The author has started the chapters with lines from the book. The chapters have names like ‘Paint the roses red’.
The book is hilarious at times and sad at times especially when Mythili is upset and Siddharth empathises with her but does not want her to know that he is upset because he is her pillar of strength.
I am eagerly waiting for a sequel to this book.

This novella (beautifully packed in ten chapters) takes the reader plummeting down the matrimonial rabbit-hole as Mythili (the main character) lands in Manila, Philippines with her newlywed husband - Siddarth (metaphor the White Rabbit).
It is then essentially a series of bizarre encounters with eccentric people (Sid’s social friends) under strange circumstances. Throughout this adventure trip she encounters strange characters each surpassing another and outlandish as the next. Any idea about - what all strange and amazing creatures will Mythili stumble on in the new land. What amazing things are waiting to happen next with her?
Have you read ‘Alice Adventures in Wonderland’? Yes, do not miss reading ‘A Newlywed’s Adventures in Married Land’. Even though, the original classic book has been interpreted in numerous ways, I am confident that this ‘desi’ or say Indian version is much more humorous, pragmatic, authentic and inspiring adaptation.
All these facets collectively make it an appealing read, promising its success, yet again. A must read for (expat and Indian women) to understand - how to hold on to your love even after marriage without losing your identity.
