Keeping in Touch - Anjali Joseph

A finely observed, uncompromisingly modern tale about the complexities of contemporary romance. Spanning the lush landscapes of Assam and the bustling streets of London, this witty novel explores what it truly means to connect in a fragmented world.

Keteki is magnetic, charming, and fiercely independent—but she is also deeply allergic to the idea of commitment. Ved is completely smitten, yet he carries the messy baggage of being a somewhat toxic bachelor. When these two disparate lives collide, they find themselves pulled into the intricate, unpredictable, and transformative dance of a long-distance relationship.

As Keteki and Ved navigate the geographical and emotional miles between Northeast India and the UK, they are forced to confront not only their feelings for each other but also the shifting tides of their own personal and professional lives.

Written by the multi-award-winning author Anjali Joseph, Keeping in Touch is an edgy, funny, and deeply relatable exploration of love in the 21st century. Joseph’s signature sharp observational style and lyrical prose capture the micro-nuances of human behavior, intimacy, and the vulnerabilities we hide behind modern cynicism. It is a brilliant, atmospheric story with a lingering resonance that will stay with you long after the final page is turned.
