Description
The Big Day is a heartwarming and humorous novel about the complexities of family relationships and cultural traditions. When Noor, a British-Asian woman, falls in love and gets engaged, she clashes with her mother Leena over plans for their daughter's wedding.
As the two women disagree on the perfect celebration, their once-close relationship begins to unravel. Noor struggles to understand why her mother is determined to have an elaborate Desi celebration when their lives have been anything but traditional. Meanwhile, Leena's own secrets and desires threaten to disrupt the family bond even further.
This uplifting novel explores the tensions between cultural heritage and personal identity, as well as the challenges of navigating family dynamics in the face of love and change.
