A Good Read

Love Marriage by Monica Ali tells the story of two people, two cultures, two families.

Doctors Yasmin and Joe are engaged to be married. Their families are quite different. Yasmin is part of an Indian family and is a second-generation doctor while Joe was raised by his mum, Harriet, a world-famous firebrand feminist. However, both Yasmin and Joe are harbouring secrets, and as the wedding day draws closer both families are forced to confront the unravelling of those secrets.
   
I enjoyed this, there’s a lot going on, it covers a lot of territory and covers multiple storylines. But it is mostly Yasmin’s story, how her view of the trajectory her life is taking makes her realise that what she truly wants may not be what she thought.


∼ Happy Reading∼
