Light and unabashedly delightful love story about a reporter who falls for a young woman whose father has been killed by the police in Mumbai. Religious and economic divisions plague the couple and the situation in which they find themselves, but the only thing you'll want to know is, will love conquer all? Read this sweet, charming book to find out. (

A reporter, Abir Ganguly is present when an innocent man is massacred by the police. Abir is asked by his editor to write a human interest story regarding the dead man and the police officer involved in the killing. During his fact finding Abir understands that it was nobodies fault and just bad luck. He also gets attracted to the victim's daughter, Munneeza.

This is a fast paced novel with straight forward narration. The story about the police who have been misinformed abou6t the victim is not properly developed whereas our author concentrates on the love story angle of the tale. A chance missed to really bring out the complexities of Mumbai life and the Hindu- Muslim interaction in India.

An OK read. (
