At Night You Sleep Alone

"Nirmal was very fair, tall and slim with long brown hair and big brown eyes. I noticed she had long fingers and her nails were painted a light pink. She was wearing a pure white salwar kameez and a baby pink dupatta. I was speechless. If there was such thing as love at first sight then this was it. I was simply blown away by her beauty. We said nothing else to each other, but the look in her eyes conveyed everything..."

It was a love that began with the innocence of youth. A carefree love between two souls, made for each other the moment they set eyes on one another; and so began Parkash and Nirmal's love story...

However, one night Nirmal's life is irrevocably changed. One small decision by her politician mother sets off a chain of unfortunate events, leading to a very different life than Nirmal had ever imagined – a life which takes her away from her true love. Her future depends on her mother's whims – will her mother save her daughter's honour or her own political career?

Years go by, and it is not until some twenty years later that Parkash is brought face to face with his past. Is it too late for Normal and Parkash or is there a glimmer of hope..?

At Night You Sleep Alone is a tender and loving tale of two individuals' journey to find love, set against the backdrop of India in the late 1960s. It will appeal to those looking for a story of romance, innocence and hope.
