My Devdas

Book excerpt: Danya is content with the way her life is going. She has a beautiful house and a promising career, and she's engaged to be married to Fadi, a man she met in college. In the beginning, their love blossomed, but in the last few years, instead of growing closer they were growing farther and farther apart. While walking down the aisle and looking into Fadi's eyes, she saw neither love nor compassion and she ran. Happy for a respite, she travels to India for her friend Zaara's wedding. It's a country she's longed to visit, and Zaara's wedding gives her the perfect escape. Here, Danya, receives the opportunity to put her life in perspective, and it leads her to something that has eluded her until now true love. A story about the simplicity of love, My Devdas shows how love can be born out of the most unusual circumstances and is still the most treasured gift in the world.
