NARGIS DARBY

A DIFFERENT SHADE OF LOVE
Mina at 20 needs more independence from her concerned but controlling muslim family. She doesn’t reckon on running full-tilt into the arms of Justin, a successful black venue manager, or forsee all the problems a cross-cultural relationship will cause her and those she loves…

After more than ten years working in Early Years support, and a life-changing car accident, a matter of days before her fortieth birthday, Nargis Darby began working on her first novel. Despite having two teenage sons, (her husband made sure their bellies were full), she committed every day to writing and produced the finished manuscript in just over twelve months. Her book is a romance but one laced with the practical and cultural consequences of love across an inter-racial divide. She is funny and very real.
