Yasmin Ghorami has a lot to be grateful for: a loving family, a fledgling career in medicine, and a charming, handsome fiancÃ©e, 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.

Ali s wit and insight illuminate the complications of modern love in Britain today. A joy HARPER S BAZAAR
