AUGUST AND A HALF (English, Paperback, SHASHWAT MISHRA)

The scorching heat of Delhi in August wasn't just about the oppressive sun. It clung to Sanaya Shinde's skin like a second layer, a constant reminder of the inferno raging within her. This wasn't the familiar August she knew, where mango popsicles dripped down chins and laughter echoed in sun-drenched courtyards. This August was a different beast, a whirlwind of emotions swirling around a love story as forbidden as a monsoon in the desert. Samar. The name sent shivers down Sanaya's spine, a melody played in stolen glances across crowded courtrooms, whispered secrets in dusty legal libraries. He was Lucknow personified, a city of Nawabi charm and whispered desires, a stark contrast to the steely efficiency of Delhi's LegitLex Law Offices, where Sanaya navigated the labyrinthine world of contracts and banking clauses. This is the story of August and a Half, a love story etched in the raindrops, a melody played on the strings of fate. It's a tale of dreams and desires, of hearts that beat in unison with the rhythm of the monsoon, and of a love that dared to dance in the face of uncertainty. Will their love be swept away by the monsoon's fury, or will it blossom into a vibrant rainbow, painting their world with the colours of forever? Turn the page, and let the winter guide you into the heart of their story.
