Puja - 19, confused,
energetic, fiery. Her philosophy - Life is complicated and only super achievers
have it figured out. Her strict mother sends her to a rural location in Kerala
to spend her summer vacation doing volunteer work.
Arush - 20, studious,
careful, shy. Born and raised in Britain, he is elated when he gets an
opportunity to spend 12 weeks in India, a place his parents are from and one he
has never been to.
When Puja and Arush meet, their stark
differences are obvious to each other. But with choppy internet and no other
distractions, they start getting to know each other and slowly fall in love.
But falling in love and staying in love are not the same thing.
When disaster strikes, Puja is forced to
confront the harsh realities of life while Arush realises that India is not
always the picture-perfect postcard he presumed it was. Desperately fighting to
expose the truth and save themselves, what happens to their love? Is it strong
enough to survive forces beyond their control? Is it deep enough to drown their
own doubts?
Sometimes you have to travel far to find your
true self.
An intensely gripping novel
from Preeti Shenoy, about young love and discovery.
