She loves her chaotic city, her friends, her work, and even the hospital canteen samosas that smell like ambition. When her mother enthusiastically presents a marriage proposal from a well-educated man settled in Australia, her initial reaction is a stubborn refusal. She has absolutely no intention of leaving her beloved country.But life, as they say, has a wicked sense of humour.Before she knows it, she is boarding a flight to start an entirely new chapter in a strange land. Arriving in Australia, she excitedly expects to be greeted by hopping kangaroos by the roadside and emus peeking from behind trees. Instead, she is met with polite drivers, wide roads, and an eerie, honk-free silence that makes her wonder if she has landed on another planet.Inspired by the author's own journey, A Call from Australia is a heartwarming, humorous, and relatable contemporary novel. It beautifully captures the immigrant experience-from the hilarious initial culture shock to navigating marriage, academic ambitions, and finding a sense of belonging thousands of miles away from home.
