Publisher's Summary
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF BRICK LANE
Shortlisted, Comedy Women in Print Prize
Yasmin Ghorami has a lot to be grateful for: a loving family, a fledgling career in medicine and a charming, handsome fiancé, fellow doctor Joe Sangster. But now the moment she has been dreading has arrived: it is time for her family to meet Joe's firebrand feminist mother.
As the two families are drawn closer together, long-held secrets, lies and betrayals unravel on both sides—and Yasmin is forced to ask herself what she really wants in a relationship and what a 'love marriage' actually means ...

Great characters and narration
I really enjoyed this book. The characters were all interesting, not just the main two or three but all of them. Very believable. I wanted a romance that wasn't just fluff and this was perfect.

Enjoyed this during my week in iso!
Could have been a shorter novel, but overall, I was hooked. Wanted something not dark or depressing and this was an interesting story about how we see our parents, love and different kinds of friendships and relationships.

A great listen
The characters were complex and flawed and each one evolved throughout the story. Engaging and thought provoking , life is complex and we can never completely know another person’s story or motivation.

Beautifully narrated
I loved this book so many surprises I would not have guessed the outcome. Well written and beautifully read. To anyone interested in people and their families give Love Marriage a go. Monica Ali has created some great diverse characters.

Loved everything about this
An engrossing story. So well written, the detail was extraordinary. Engaging from the first page to the last. Ayesha Dharker narrated this superbly. I loved listening to her and the life she brought to Monica Ali’s characters. Loved it all

Stumbled on this gem by chance and so glad I did
I found this book by mistake - got the title wrong of the novel we’d picked at book club. So pleased I did as this was a fantastic read. It turned out to be so much more complex and intriguing than first appeared. The narration was excellent - loved all the characters’ voices but especially the voice the narrator gave Anissa, just magic. Highly recommend this book!
