The Great Indian Love Story is set in a world where appearances mean everything and nothing is as it seems. There's no time for love in a world that revolves around the latest Ferraris, the hottest nightclubs, diamonds, single malts, cocaine and ecstasy. In this whirl of wild parties, sex and drugs we meet Serena Sharma who lives her life one debauched night at a time, always falling for the wrong men.
Her life is a rollercoaster ride: her father's death followed by her mother's remarriage, a broken heart and a lost love. Adding to this is her torrid affair with Amar Khanna-a trophy husband, coke addict and serial adulterer. Riya, jaded by her unsuccessful attempt to find a job in America, returns to Delhi to find the city of her childhood changed beyond recognition. Striking an unlikely friendship with Serena, Riya finds her complacent torpor shattered.
The Great Indian Love Story is also the story of Par meet, Serena's mother, who looks for passion outside her marriage with disastrous consequences, and S.P. Sharma, Par meet’s husband, who is driven to violence by her infidelity. Ira Trivedi weaves together sex, revenge, glitz, friendship and a chilling murder to create a potent cocktail in this gripping novel on the perfidious nature of love and power.
