Twenty-six-year-old Yasmin Ghorami is engaged to the charming, affluent Joe Sangster, whose strong mother, Harriet, is a well-known feminist, and she is pursuing her medical degree in London, much like her father, who was born in India. There is a huge divide between households. The difference in Yasmin and Joe's sexual experiences is also apparent.
As the wedding day approaches, miscommunications, adultery, and long-kept secrets destroy Yasmin's and her parents' relationship—which Yasmin has always been told is a "love marriage"—as well as their connection.
In addition to writing a gripping social comedy, Monica Ali is a brilliantly perceptive observer of class, sexual mores, and the secrets of the human heart. She has also created a poignant, revealing tale about two families, two cultures, and two individuals attempting to understand one another.
