Book description
Simran likes Tyrone from the moment she spots him in the crowd. He's
gorgeous and he won't take no for an answer. There's just one problem.
. . Tyrone is black and Simran's not sure how her family will react.
Even though her parents were a 'love match' and married each other
against the wishes of their families, Simran doesn't think they will
approve of her having a black boyfriend, and her nightmare uncles and
aunts certainly won't. Like her cousin Ruby says, it's the last taboo.
But Simran likes Tyrone too much to walk away, so they face the
problems their relationship causes together. But it becomes harder
than either of them predicted and when the hatred they encounter
escalates into violence, with families and friends turning against
each other, Simran and Tyrone are forced to question whether they are
strong enough to fight for what they believe in.
Bali Rai is from Leicester. As a Politics graduate, if he absolutely
had to get a real job, he'd pick journalism. For now, he is happy to
write, although he quite misses working behind a bar. However, this is
more than made up for by the fact that he can now get out of bed when he
likes and that nice people keep asking him to visit them in wonderful
places all over Europe. Long may they continue to do so.
