I received a copy of this book from Negalley for an honest review! Thank you to all involved I enjoyed this one very much.
Love Comes Later is the story of love, loss, culture, duty and family; the main character Abdulla is a product of his environment where the major components of his life, such as the decisions regarding marriage and children are being taken away from him, and becoming the agenda of the Elders and his community. But after the tragic loss of his wife and unborn child, Abdulla does not wish to follow the dictates of those clamoring around him. He initially no longer wants to remarry, to no longer be a pawn; but others interfere and once again, major parts of Abdulla's life is not his own; but as the story progresses, where Abdulla once believed love would no longer be a viable option for him, in an unexpected place, it finds him again...
I truly enjoyed this book. Love Comes Later is a well written, thought provoking read. I enjoyed the glimpse into Abdulla's culture, and Ms. Rajakumar is an exceptional storyteller; Love Comes Later is not an empty, frivolous tale; but one with depth and character.
