LOVE MARRIAGE

The first new novel in a decade from the bestselling, Booker Prize-shortlisted author of BRICK LANE 'I absolutely loved it. Exquisitely written with big heartedness, intelligence and passion' RUTH JONES, author of NEVER GREENER Yasmin Ghorami has a lot to be grateful for: a loving family, a fledgling career in medicine, and a charming, handsome fiancee, fellow doctor Joe Sangster. But as the wedding day draws closer and Yasmin's parents get to know Joe's firebrand feminist mother, both families must confront the unravelling of long-held secrets, lies and betrayals. As Yasmin dismantles her own assumptions about the people she holds most dear, she's also forced to ask herself what she really wants in a relationship and what a 'love marriage' actually means. Love Marriage is a story about who we are and how we love in today's Britain - with all the complications and contradictions of life, desire, marriage and family. What starts as a captivating social comedy develops into a heart-breaking and gripping story of two cultures, two families and two people trying to understand one another. 'Bold, compassionate, big-hearted, pitch-perfectly written, and utterly unputdownable' NEEL MUKHERJEE, Booker Prize shortlisted author of THE LIVES OF OTHERS 'Warm, affectionate and hilarious ... A joyous novelist at the peak of her formidable powers' DALJIT NAGRA, author of LOOK WE HAVE COMING TO DOVER!
