My thoughts on Mother Knows Worst
Mother Knows Worst by Sofia Bella Roma is a charming and entertaining novel that takes the reader on a journey of cultural exploration and self-discovery. The book tells the story of Rose, a quirky Italian girl who falls in love with Anil, a handsome intellectual from India, and the challenges they face in their relationship due to their cultural differences.
The author’s writing style is engaging and witty, making the novel both humorous and poignant. The story is inspired by true events, which gives it a sense of authenticity and relatability. The book also sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals from different cultures when they come together in a relationship, which adds a layer of depth to the narrative.
One of the book’s main strengths is how it portrays the challenges of marriage and relationships. It shows how the love between Rose and Anil is tested when they are forced to confront the expectations and traditions of Anil’s mother. The author does an excellent job of portraying the mother’s perspective and highlighting the differences in cultural expectations, which adds a realistic and thought-provoking element to the story.
Overall, Mother Knows Worst is an enjoyable and enlightening read that offers a unique perspective on cultural differences and relationships. The book will entertain and move readers, as it masterfully combines humor and tragedy to create a truly unforgettable story.

Guest Post from Sofia Bella Roma
What I Learned When Writing About Two Cultures Colliding.
In my Novel “Mother Knows Worst”, it became apparent that a marriage is affected by more than just a husband-and-wife team. Family and friends can also impact a marriage. Creating healthy boundaries is a major key to a successful marriage. Without boundaries and understanding a marriage can often be reduced to fighting and frustration.
An Italian American woman marrying a man from New Delhi experiences a blend of both cultures. The couple may navigate differences in religion, customs and traditions, but it should be with mutual respect, love and understanding. Having mutual respect, love and understanding can create a unique and beautiful marriage.
The Italian American culture tends to be more relaxed with focus on family and food. While New Delhi has a rich history and cultural traditions, with a strong emphasis on religion and family values and respect for elders.
A couple may face challenges that could stem from differences in communication styles, language barriers and social norms. However, these challenges can be overcome through open and honest communication, compromise, and a willingness to learn and grow together.
A marriage between an Italian American girl and a man from New Delhi could be a beautiful and enriching experience as they learn from each other’s cultures and create a new tradition of their own.
