Welcome to Grand Life Apartments...

Soon-to-be-retired Kamala spends her days counting down to her daughter's annual visits from abroad.

Thirty-two-year-old engineer, Revathi, is frequently reminded by her mother that she's fast reaching her expiry date in the arranged-marriage market.

And heartbroken Jason is here because he's running away - from London, and from his past.

With nothing in common, they are united only by a love - and a need - for where they live. So when a developer threatens to demolish everything they know, they come together to save their beloved home...

Critic reviews

From the vibrant setting to its engaging characters, this joyous novel is a feast for the senses, as well as the soul (Joanna Nell)

Truly loved these characters!

Did not want the story to end. Want to hear more about every character. Hope there is a sequel!!

Charming

I enjoyed my time with the inhabitants of Grand Life Apartments. Shaheen Khan did a great job with all the voices.
