A #1 Bestseller, Because of You
I am still finding it hard to believe as I write this.
My new novel, Whose Love Story: Chitra, Karna, or Both, is now a #1 Amazon Kindle bestseller in three categories in India. A few days ago it was a manuscript on my laptop. Today it sits at the top of the Kindle Store, next to books I have admired for years.
This did not happen because of me. It happened because of every friend, reader and stranger who bought the eBook, shared a message, or told someone else about it. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
The Three #1 Rankings on Amazon Kindle
Whose Love Story reached the top spot in these Kindle Store categories on Amazon India:
- #1 in Parenting & Relationships eBooks. At its heart, this is a book about the bonds between people: husband and wife, parent and child, friends who become family. It makes sense that readers looking for stories about relationships found it here.
- #1 in Indian Writing (Kindle Store). This is an Indian story, written for Indian readers and for anyone who loves Indian fiction. Its characters speak and feel the way our own families do.
- #1 in Religious & Inspirational Fiction eBooks. The novel draws on the Mahabharata, on forgiveness and on quiet faith. Karna names his wife Chitrangada, after the warrior princess who stopped hiding who she was.
Three very different categories, one book. To me, that says the story speaks to more than one kind of reader.
What Is Whose Love Story About?
She nearly died. Sixteen days later, everyone who loves her gathers in one room to hear the whole story, from the very beginning.
Karna stands at the window of a new sea-facing home while his wife Chitra recovers on the bed behind him. Their chosen family, friends who became brothers, sisters and parents over the years, take turns telling their part of the story. Each version changes the one before it. And two people are still on their way, who will complete it.
Karna is an orphan who refuses money and charity for himself, never calls anyone mother, and forgives everyone. Chitra is a lawyer who spent years hiding herself after a painful childhood. The novel is about love, adoption, forgiveness and the family we choose.
Why Readers Are Connecting With It
- It feels like your own family. Every family has one story that each person tells differently. Readers tell me they recognise their own homes in that room.
- It is told through conversation. The story moves through what people say to each other, and what they leave unsaid. It reads fast and stays with you.
- It is a love story with real family drama. Not just two people, but everyone around them: friends, parents, a daughter, and secrets that come out one by one.
- It ends with a question only you can answer. Whose love story is it, really?
