The Spoiled Heart

In one night, Nayan lost everything. Years later, his world is at risk again. Nayan has fought hard to move on, losing himself in his political work, trying to make a better world. A fresh challenge arrives with newcomer Megha, who threatens not just his career ambitions, but his ideals. Meanwhile the enigmatic Helen Fletcher returns to Chesterfield and Nayan finds himself growing close to her. But Helen carries secrets which connect her to Nayan in ways he doesn’t realise. The Spoiled Heart is an explosive story of how a few words or a single action – to one person careless, to another, charged – can trigger a cascade of unimaginable consequences. ’ One of Britain’s finest writers…page-turning’ Observer ‘Withheld revelations and dark secrets... plot-packed, propulsive’ New York Times ‘Gripping... irresistible... brilliant’ The Times 'Utterly compelling, original and very moving' Tessa Hadley ‘Moving and revelatory’ Financial Times ‘Smart and sophisticatedly written’ Daily Telegraph ‘Perfectly paced…gripping’ Guardian
