Love Marriage: A Novel
Named a Best Book of 2022 So Far by The New Yorker!
Cultural clashes, political satire, Oedipal conflicts, elegant prosetheyre all here in this romp of a book. Oprah Daily
A Phenomenal Book Club Pick and a New York Times Book Review Group Text Selection, Love Marriage is a glorious moving novel from Booker Prize shortlisted Monica Ali, who has an inborn generosity that cannot be learned (The New York Times Book Review).
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 Yasmins 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 (BookPage, starred review) social comedy and a moving, revelatory story of two cultures, two families, and two people trying to understand one another thats sure to please Alis fans and win some new ones (Publishers Weekly).
