Overview

"It's the Bombay wedding season when ambitious mothers hunt for future brides and grooms to the music and dancing of the Hijras, the crude, rude and lewd cross-dressing men who, according to Hindu tradition, have the ability to grant wishes and cast spells." "Nils' mum is intent on finding him a nice docile wife to take back to Wembley, but Nils has other plans. He's been bewitched by Raj, a nice boy he met on the cruising beach who's the adopted son of a Guru Hijra. Determined not to be separated, they hatch a plan to smuggle Raj as Nils' wife back to Wembley, and it will take all the resources of Guru Hijra's supernatural support to avoid disaster."--BOOK JACKET.
