"Love Comes Later" by Mohanalakshmi Rajakumar brings us quickly into a foreign world where duty to family is one of the strongest values. The main character is Abdulla, a man raised in an environment where the Elders of the community have the last say. Because Abdulla suffers both pain and shame, he first wants to break away from this restrictive culture. Love returns to his life when he least expects it."Love Comes Later" is exceptionally well written with nuanced phrasing and a delicate touch in characterizing the many characters. I am always open to learning about the various religions and customs of the world. Rajakumar uses her book as both a teaching tool, to introduce outsiders to the world of Qatar, and as great books are, a plot-driven entertainment.
