About the Book:

A romantically beautiful story that is at once exciting and tender! The fact and fiction about love stories inevitably merge, and one becomes the other. Premier Amour: First Love brings out this truth vividly. Every soul that has loved will encounter many déjà vu moments – a medley of “been there, felt it all” feelings that the novel oozes from start to finish.

Intense or hilarious at times and heart-wrenching or ecstatic at others, the emotions are real and relatable. “Sharp, soulful romance” is how one beta reader put it succinctly. The unique backdrop of the desolate and divine Zanskar valley adds to the richness of the narrative. Its imagery grows on the readers as they read on.

“It’s almost like one’s calling” is how another beta reader described the experience. Through the many twists and turns of the plot, the lead characters Bhanu and Bhushan have varied feel-it-yourself experiences to share, the most important one being, “love rightly, live rightly.” And if it is first love, it’s all the more for keeps! Nothing else comes even close.
