About this listen
Matchmaking is easy. Falling in love on the other hand...
Saima knows that she's a great matchmaker. She has the weekly wedding invitations to prove it. So why has her community started turning against her?
The desi community in Sydney has eyes, ears and mouths everywhere, and Saima's feeling firsthand the impact gossip can have. Too modern, too focused on compatibility instead of class and everything else that's meant to matter.
She's about to pack it all up and move back in with her Ammy when an eligible bachelor's wealthy parents show up at her door. They're offering the biggest payday she's had in years, but there's a catch: she has to convince their son to accept her services without letting on that it's his parents pulling the strings.
Kal is handsome, successful and starting to worry about his path in life. What does it mean to be a third culture kid? When a woman falls into his life challenging everything he thought he knew about heritage, life and love, it might be the answer he's been searching for.
But Saima wrote off love a long time ago - has she hardened her heart too much to see what's right in front of her?
Can a matchmaker recognise a perfect match?

Wonderful, insightful and funny
The Matchmaker was a joy from beginning to end, and one of those audiobooks that I couldn’t stop listening to all in one day. Shad’s sweeping yet intimate narrative shines a light on Sydney’s diverse and complex Desi community, effortlessly showing us a world equally full of contradictions, colours and light. The relatable protagonists, well captured by the talented narrators are meaningfully familiar, with witty and punchy dialogue that puts you right into the action. The representation of Sydney as a supporting character paints a vivid backdrop to this wonderful romcom, which is a refreshing take on the usual will-they won’t-they tension. This is truly an accomplished piece of Australian modern fiction by this debut novelist and I look forward to more.
