Truths are revealed and a wedge develops in their relationship.
Here's what reviewers are saying about Saz Vora's book
Teeming with Gujarati culture and steeped in tradition... Reena and Nik begin the story so filled with love and joy that it feels like a fairytale. Then comes the sharply felt and poignantly written heartbreak and loss. ... honest insight into the prejudices and trials that haunt couples from different backgrounds and highlights the value of both loyal friends and dedicated family when dealing with depression and insecurity that comes with adversity. '...raw, real tear jerker' - Indie Today
My Heart Sings Your Song and Where Have We Come is a beautiful love story. It is modern and global in thought, yet fiercely Indian at heart. Bollywood movies meet a fierce mother's love for a very special child. Nik and Reena are unforgettable characters. They will stay with me for a long time to come. Sarah Ismail, Editor, Same Difference.
Will the chasm created by their differences in dealing with the stresses and strains of looking after a sick child pull them apart? Or will their love for each other and the love of their child overcome the additional prejudices and customs observed by Nik's family?

Saz Vora was born in East Africa and migrated with her family to England in the ‘60’s to Coventry, West Midlands, where she grew up straddling British and Gujarati Indian culture. Her debut duet My Heart Sings Your Song and Where Have We Come is a story in two parts about love, loss and family, the second book in the series is based on true events that have shaped her outlook on life’s trials and tribulations.
My Heart Sings Your Song shows the life of East African Asians and takes you to the world of Crazy Rich Asians. Where Have We Come looks at the cultural clashes experienced by young British Asians and reflects the tone set in Me Before You.
Before she started writing South Asian melodrama, Saz had a successful career in Television Production and Teaching…But her need to write stories has led to what she is doing now – writing stories about people like her in multi-cultural Britain.
Saz gets her inspiration from listening to music, cooking and watching Bollywood, Hollywood and Independent films, hence the references to songs, food and films in all her books.
Her books are aimed at young adult, contemporary women’s, book club fiction – stories that make you think, for readers who like the multicultural layers of South Asian family melodrama, Bollywood style gatherings and lots of references to food. They will also appeal to readers of stories that cover adult themes to make you think. She draws on her upbringing in England and the layers of complexity of living with her Indian heritage and her Britishness and uses this to create stories to represent that.
