The Official Exceptions to the Rules of Golf by Henry Beard

The Official Exceptions to the Rules of Golf by Henry Beard

In the early 70's, Indira, a young bride from Andhra Pradesh, in South India, migrates to the US with her husband Ashok. Indira truly represents a generation of early Indian immigrants who strove to blend the customs and traditions of the east and west. A deep bond is forged between them and another immigrant family hailing from the same region. Spanning over two decades, this friendship is suddenly shattered by an incident in 1997. Despite a terrible loss, years later the families reconcile with a very touching closure. Nostalgia for the old way of life, vivid imagery bringing alive the beautiful rural landscape, combined with a description of the very different social structures of both the countries serves as a backdrop. The novel moves at an easy pace with subtle humor and striking detail. Explanations and a glossary are provided to hold the readers' interest.

Henry Beard was a member of the Harvard Lampoon and a Harvard University student. He later co-founded the National Lampoon with Douglas Kenney and served as the magazine's editor during its heyday in the 1970s. He is the author of several bestselling humor books, including Miss Piggy's Guide to Life and The Official Politically Correct Dictionary and Handbook (co-authored with Christopher Cerf).
