ABOUT THIS BOOK

A love story that is at once exciting and tender!

The fact and fiction about love stories inevitably merge at some point, and one becomes the other. Premier Amour – First Love brings out this truth vividly. Every soul that has loved will encounter many déjà vu moments – a medley of “been there, felt it all” feelings that the novel oozes from start to finish.

Intense or hilarious at times, and heart-wrenching or ecstatic at others, the emotions are very real and relatable. “Sharp, soulful romance” is how one beta reader put it succinctly. The unique backdrop of the desolate and divine Zanskar valley adds to the richness of the narrative. Its imagery grows on the readers as they read on. “It’s almost like one’s calling” is how another beta reader described the experience.

Through the many twists and turns of the plot, the lead characters Bhanu and Bhushan have varied feel-it-yourself experiences to share, the most important one being, “love rightly, live rightly.” And if it is first love, it’s all the more for keeps! Nothing else is comes even close.

Sonal Dabral, Ad Guru, sums it up well, “Don’t just read this novel. Savour it.”

Some lines from the novel to walk the talk:

A woman’s heart in love is like a peacock in the rains. It has to give in to much singing and dancing, flutter its rainbow feathers and spread them in an oversized arch, then strut all over the place wearing that colourful cloak, announcing to the world that it is the season of love.

First love is a rare lucky charm. Always wear it close to your heart.

To love and to lose in love, is worse than not to love.

“I am still recovering from a fractured heart, and it is unfair to give someone something that is broken.”

Some women prefer to win their man, not steal him.

Let’s ride the tide, love is by our side.
