Synopsis

Timeless romance from the best-selling author of Tuppence to Cross the Mersey. With over 3 million copies sold around the world, Helen Forrester’s hard-hitting and gripping fiction continues to move readers. Anasuyabehn was brought up to obey her father in all things. She didn’t question this until she set eyes on Tilak, the brilliant new professor at Shahpur University. Promised to Mahadev, a wealthy moneylender, Anasuyabehn is not free to pursue Tilak — a man from a different culture who shocks her community with his unfamiliar, modern ideas. Torn between a passionate love for Tilak and her deep religious beliefs pushing her towards Mahadev, Anasuyabehn only wants to follow her heart. What she does not realise is that she is not the only one with a stake in this — and neither of the two men will give up easily.
