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?

Hey all, sorry been away for a while, here's snippet 6 of my novel
Summer gets in the back looking slightly tearful. Sumi kisses her on the cheek, Summer looks away as not to show them that she has been sobbing. Kamila also gets in the back and puts her arms around Summer and shuts the back door. Lankan yells at them left behind ”behave yourselves!” and gets in the passenger seat in a few minutes the cab driver pulls away. They arrive at the airport not so far away about two hours before their flight. They go through the customs and get their bags checked; the lady at the check-in goes through the usual questions asking if they packed the suitcase themselves, Kamila shrugs hoping that this might delay them all. Lankan cuts in unfortunately “yes we did check them ourselves, we always do” Kamila looks at Summer who has no idea what measures her mum would go through to stop her from getting on the plane. Summer stares at her mum and for a slight second gets anxious but is distracted immediately by some people running past her.
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!”
