Intemperance by Sonora Jha

At 55, a renowned intellectual and twice-married woman stages a modern swayamvar—inviting men to compete for her attention—which ignites gossip and scandal in her American town. The novel follows her fierce desire, the realities of aging and disability, and her defiance of social expectations as she navigates public scrutiny and personal longing.
