Synopsis:

In present-day London, Yasmin Ghorami is twenty-six, in training to be a doctor (like her Indian-born father), and engaged to the charismatic, upper-class Joe Sangster, whose formidable mother, Harriet, is a famous feminist. The gulf between families is vast. So, too, is the gulf in sexual experience between Yasmin and Joe.

As the wedding day draws near, misunderstandings, infidelities, and long-held secrets upend both Yasmin’s relationship and that of her parents, a “love marriage,” according to the family lore that Yasmin has believed all her life.

A gloriously acute observer of class, sexual mores, and the mysteries of the human heart, Monica Ali has written a riveting social comedy and a moving, revelatory story of two cultures, two families, and two people trying to understand one another.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket by Nico Taylor (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with full number line. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, IN BLACK PEN, WITHOUT DEDICATION, ON HALF TITLE PAGE. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (£18.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 504pp. Yasmin Ghorami has a lot to be grateful for: a loving family, a fledgling career in medicine, and a charming, handsome fiancé, 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. Quite scarce signed.
