description: 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 social comedy and a moving revelatory story of two cultures two families and two people trying to understand one another.
