Meet Me in Bombay
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
All he needs is to find her. First, he must remember who she is.
Jenny Ashcroft's "Meet Me in Bombay is a powerful, poignant and deeply emotional tale of love, mystery, loss and joy." –Kate Furnivall, New York Times bestselling author
It's New Year's Eve in Bombay, 1913, and Madeline Bright, new to the sweltering heat of colonial India, is yearning for all she has left behind in England. Then, at the stroke of midnight, Maddy meets Luke Devereaux, and as the year changes so do both their lives.
Bold and charismatic, Luke opens her eyes to the wonders of Bombay, while Maddy's beauty and vivacity captures his heart. Only her mother disapproves, preferring the devoted Guy Bowen as a match for her daughter.
But while Maddy and Luke are falling in love, the world is falling apart. World War I is on the horizon, and Luke will be given no choice but to fight. They will be continents apart, separated by danger and devastating loss, but bound by Luke's promise that they will meet again in Bombay.

Ashcroft (Island in the East) spins an irresistible romantic tour de force set in early-20th-century India. Maddy Bright grew up in England but has since joined her parents in India, where she falls hard for dashing British military officer Luke Devereaux. After Luke gives her a Bombay travel guidebook that leads her on adventures, their connection deepens, leading quickly to marriage and pregnancy, then uncertainty when Luke is sent to fight in WWI. All of Ashcroft’s characters leap off the page, especially Maddy’s best friend and her supportive father, who share Maddy’s intense anguish when she receives news from the front that Luke has been seriously injured, and after she doesn’t hear from him, she believes he’s died. The author employs evocative prose and taut plotting, and the final twist will come as a surprise to those who think they have the story figured out. Ashcroft keeps readers turning the pages.
