Luke & Lara

Two hearts. One impossible truth.

When twelve-year-old Luke saves Lara from drowning, their bond is sealed forever, a connection forged in water and fate.

Growing up in 1980s Delhi, they become inseparable. Two outsiders navigating family expectations, cultural divides, and the fragile space between friendship and love.

But as the years pass and continents separate them, unspoken truths threaten everything they've built.

Lara's love deepens into something undeniable.

And Luke carries a secret that could shatter the one relationship he cannot bear to lose.

Spanning decades and continents, Luke & Lara is a poignant work of literary fiction about friendship, identity, unrequited love, and the heartbreak of loving someone you can never truly have.
