Hi to my readers,


I am pleased to see that my first blog is being well received...


This novel is about a story of survival in a foreign country for a an Indian girl born and bred in UK, I have focused this story on forced marriages abroad as I would like to bring awareness to girls no matter how young or old that have had no choice in marrying a suitor picked by their family.


I like to say that I have been lucky in that my parents were liberated and allowed me to pick my own choice of suitor which is why I have thanked my parents in the beginning of the book... however it would be interesting to hear your views on arranged/forced marriages.




Do you think they will ever have a chance of working in the future? Or is it a complete no-no?

Snippet 4

She kisses him on the lips passionately “do you really want me?” he nods and strokes her back, she in turn strokes his. She finds her tongue touching his and they both get lost in their own little world “I want to be your girlfriend Hen; I just don’t know how to tell my folks!”   Henry looks sympathetically at Summers problem “don’t worry, it will be ok, I’m sure about it”. She looks down and her smile has disappeared “uh Henry, I don’t think you quite get it, my parents are the strict kind!”

They banter as they see Tommy and Henry in the front walkway “oooh girls, you both look lovely”, the girls blush as they stare at their cool looking boys “you don’t look bad yourselves, if we must say”. Henry interlinks his arm with Summer and walks ahead, Tommy and Rachel follow behind at a distance. Lankan drives by Rachel’s house spying to see if he can spot Summer in the window but instead he spots Henry and Summer with interlinked arms walking together “right that’s it, I’m not having this”. He decides to let them have their enjoyment that night. He gets home in a rage but doesn’t show it to Kamila who has cooked Lankan’s favourite dish.

Snippet 3 - hope youre all enjoying it - please share your views

Summer, slightly tearful comes through the corridor and gets grabbed by Henry and they both sneak off to a secluded place “Hi Sum, don’t cry, she’s only telling you off a bit, she won’t tell your parents, "don’t worry”, "it’s alright for you, you don’t get told off at all” she snaps back. He looks at her lovingly “oh Hun, I do all the time, I just take it with a pinch of salt” He brings her closer and kisses her on the lips”. “oi oi, cut that out you two” a stern voice shouts back “oh shit! “ Henry laughs as he spots Tommy staring at them in hysterics. The bell rings and the lessons after her kiss from Henry are a blur. For the whole afternoon they constantly stare at each other occasionally winking at each other. Fortunately for them the teacher doesn’t catch them. The last bell rings and they all walk out of the classroom. They stroll down the corridor looking at their phones bumping into each other. Tommy grabs Henry aside as Sumi pulls up near the school gates. “Hey lady”
