\"\"Lauded for sweeping Bollywood-esque multicultural family dramas, Sonali Dev debuts an Austen-inspired series starring the Indian royalty-descended, Northern California-established Raje family. Her first installment riffs on P&P<\/em> with an added gender mix-and-match.<\/p>\n

Second Raje daughter Trisha is an extraordinary Stanford neurosurgeon, but her personal relationships have suffered since her college roommate Julia Wickham almost ruined her family. When Trisha meets London-born Darcy Caine \u2013 he prefers DJ \u2013 insults fly after she calls him \u201chired help,\u201d never mind he\u2019s a Cordon Bleu-trained chef who\u2019s catering Trisha\u2019s gubernatorial-candidate brother\u2019s events. DJ abandoned his Paris life to be with younger sister Emma (!), who\u2019s also Trisha\u2019s truculent patient.<\/p>\n

Prodigious Soneela Nankani shepherds the vast cast to a happy ending, tirelessly affecting multiple accents beyond California vernacular, including Indian and British English, although Dev\u2019s clumsy mixture of posh and street British seems to cause Nankani aural dismay. Listeners will be eager for the next Raje installment \u2013 a Persuasion<\/em>-inspired foodie novel starring cousin Ashna \u2013 and hoping for another performance by Nankani.<\/p>\n
