What if Mr Rochester was Mr Raichura and Jane Eyre was Hema Pattni, a story set in South of France and England filled with East African Gujarati culture, Bollywood songs and delicious food. Orphan Hema Pattni wants nothing more than to escape from her cold and unapproving aunt. When an au pair job appears in The Lady, seeking someone who speaks both French and Gujarati, Hema jumps at the opportunity to get away from her unhappy childhood home. At first, Hema's new post in southern France seems like a dream come true - the family welcomes her with open arms, and her bright, inquisitive pupil, Amelie, fills her days with satisfaction. Even better, when her dashing employer, the wealthy and reticent Rahul Raichura, arrives at the estate, Hema finds herself drawn to his old-fashioned chivalry and twinkling smile. As Hema's attraction toward her employer grows, so does her love for Amelie, and soon, she begins to wonder if she's finally found her place in the world. But just as hope sets in, a series of strange happenings threatens the summer's perfection. As mysterious sightings of a darkly dressed woman increase, Amelie begins to talk of seeing the mother who is supposed to be dead. Determined to uncover the truth, Hema suspects the Raichuras may be hiding a secret - one even more serious than her own. Worst still, Rahul's mother and the French housekeeper leave suddenly, and the couple are left alone to look after Amelie.

Autorenporträt
Saz Vora grew up straddling British and Gujarati Indian culture. Her books are stories that make you think, for readers who like the multicultural layers of South Asian family drama, Bollywood style gatherings and lots of references to food. She draws on her upbringing in England and the layers of complexity of living with her Indian heritage and her Britishness and uses this to create stories to represent people from a diverse community with honest and positive life experiences.Saz's debut novel in two parts was a finalist in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2020 and her short story Broad Street Library was long listed in Spread The Word, Life Writing Prize 2020.Before she started writing South Asian melodrama, she had a successful career in Television Production and Teaching... But her need to write stories has led to what she is doing now-writing stories about people like her in multi-cultural Britain.She gets inspiration from listening to music, cooking and watching Bollywood, Hollywood and Independent films, hence the references to songs, food and films in all her books.
