Amir Khan
How (Not) to Have an Arranged Marriage - The heart-warming debut novel from the Sunday Times Bestselling author
Summary
How (Not) to Have an Arranged Marriage is written and read with poignant honesty by Dr Amir Khan, bestselling author of The Doctor Will See You Now. Heartwarming and hilarious, it follows the adventures of a young Muslim student doctor, torn between his traditional family and his whirlwind romance.
He's the perfect catch (according to his mother). Yousef is the golden child to his strict Pakistani parents. As he finishes his medical degree in London, Yousef's life appears to be mapped out for him: become a doctor, marry a suitable girl of his parents' choosing and, above all, make his family proud. Then Yousef meets Jess.
A fellow medical student, Jess presents a complication to the plan. Suddenly, Yousef finds himself torn between two worlds - keeping each a secret from the other.
But, as graduation day looms, Yousef's mother informs him that she's started looking for his wife . . .
Dr Amir Khan is a resident doctor for ITV's Lorraine and Good Morning Britain. His debut fiction novel is a timely, heartfelt look at all aspects of modern arranged marriages.
'Full of the compassion, humanity and mischievous sense of fun you would expect from Dr Amir. This is a complete delight from a born storyteller.' - Lorraine Kelly
