Monica Ali, the Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Brick Lane, introduces her first novel in a decade, Love Marriage, a vital exploration of love, family and the modern world. Yasmin Ghorami is due to marry fellow junior doctor Joe Sangster, the son of a successful feminist author. But as the wedding approaches, cultures collide, relationships shift and the joining of two very different clans becomes a reckoning.
Ali appears in conversation with journalist Sam Baker.
