MANNY WANTS TO BE A FOOTBALLER. OR A POP STAR. OR WRITE A BESTSELLER. HE DOESN'T WANT TO GET MARRIED...
'Harry and Ranjit were waiting for me - waiting to take me to Derby, to a wedding. My wedding. A wedding that I hadn't asked for, that I didn't want. To a girl who I didn't know... If they had bothered to open their eyes, they would have seen me: seventeen, angry, upset but determined - determined to do my own thing, to choose my own path in life...'
Set partly in the UK and partly in the Punjab region of India, this is a fresh, bitingly perceptive and totally up-to-the-minute look at one young man's fight to free himself from family expectations and to be himself, free to dance to his own tune.

"Nie im Leben! Ich heirate nicht!", schreit Manny, als er erfährt, dass sein Vater in Indien eine Braut für ihn ausgesucht hat, die er später mit siebzehn heiraten soll. Ein Mädchen, das er noch nie gesehen hat! Schließlich hat er ganz andere Pläne: Er träumt davon, Torjäger bei Liverpool oder der erste asiatische Popstar zu werden, Manny ist in England geboren, dort ist sein Zuhause. Er will auf keinen Fall so leben wie sein Vater und seine Brüder.
