The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is the first adult novel by Roshani Chokshi. It tells the story of ‘The Bridegroom’ and Indigo Maxwell Castenada & their marriage. Also the story of his brother and Indigo’s childhood friend Azure.

This is a very well written story, full of metaphors and descriptive prose. I’m not a magical realism fan, but this was a solid book. I do think that it’s being slightly mis-marketed, though. People going into it thinking it’s a fantasy book, and not a magical realism book are sure to be disappointed.
