The Colour of Love — Preethi Nair

‘A joyful story' Good Housekeeping

For all outward appearances, Nina is the perfect Indian daughter. But underneath, she feels like a fraud.

In one day, she caught her secret (white) boyfriend having an affair, she walked out of her lucrative career as a lawyer to become an artist, and to cap it all off, a disturbing encounter with a spiritual guru has her questioning her faith.

Unable to face shattering her parents' ambitions of the perfect arranged marriage, she finally agrees to be matched.

But as she dons a suit and pretends to go to work every day, the lies are beginning to stack up. Surely something's got to give?
