At the birth of their first child Reena and Nikesh discover their baby has had a severe brain haemorrhage, and family and friends rally around to help. But the family matriarch, Sarladevi, reminds Reena of the predictions of the Guru and Reena struggles to deal with her past. While Nik seeks comfort from Sarladevi with religious rituals and customs, Reena finds alternative medicine and support groups. Truths are revealed, and a wedge develops in their relationship.

Will the chasm created by their differences in dealing with the stresses and strains of looking after a sick child pull them apart?

Or will their love for each other and the eternal love of their child overcome the prejudices and customs observed by Nik's family?

Autorenporträt

Saz Vora was born in East Africa and migrated with her family to England in the '60s to Coventry, West Midlands, where she grew up straddling British and Gujarati Indian culture. Her debut duet My Heart Sings Your Song and Where Have We Come is a story of love, life, family, conflict, and two young people striving to remain together throughout. Where Have We Come, Finalist, The Wishing Shelf 2020, is based on true events that has shaped her outlook on life's trials and tribulations. Her short story Broad Street Library was long listed for Spread The Word, Life Writing Prize 2020.

Before she started writing South Asian melodrama, Saz 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.

Saz gets her 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.

Her books are stories that make you think, for readers who like the multicultural layers of South Asian family melodrama, 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 that.
