The Death of Mr Love

When an Anglo-Indian love triangle ended in murder, it sent shockwaves through 1950s Bombay. The Nanavati trial split Indian high-society, its effects reaching as far as the Nehru government.

In modern-day London, Bhalu's dying mother leaves him a trunk of letters and a mystery: was there a second crime connected with the murder, one that has gone untold and unpunished, but that has shaped the lives of Bhalu and his family?

Together with his childhood friend Phoebe, Bhalu returns to India to discover the truth, and write the last chapter of The Death of Mr Love.

'You know, this love stuff,' I said. 'Well, um, I don't love you or anything, but I like you quite a lot.'
She cried 'Oh!' and I didn't know if I'd offended her. But she came close, put her hands on either side of my face and kissed me on my lips. 'I love you, Bhalu,' she said. You're my best friend. You're so clever and brave and I don't know what I'd do without you.'
That, I suppose, was the moment. I fell in love with her.
