Audible presents, The Last Girl to Fall in Love, an Audible Original. Written by Durjoy Datta and voiced by Rasika Dugal and Prateik Babbar

This is the sequel to The Last Boy to Fall in Love.

In a bizarre case of murder, strange strands of history begin to emerge slowly. Manav, Sarita, and Sandhya are drawn into a universe of intrigue, suspense, and delusion as they navigate a new world. This new system, in which they exist, is an upturned world where womankind is supreme.

History has been challenged, subverted, and rewritten. But for those born in this epoch, what is the relationship with the past? Why has history been hidden from this generation, and what are the ancestors whispering into their ears? Rahul reveals these subtle secrets to Manu, nudging him to slant his paradigm. But this would also mean tilting his neatly boxed relationships. Should Manu dig deeper into the labyrinth of the past or consider it buried?

In a world that is a rip-off of the earlier patriarchal system, there are new rules to play by. Women write the rules, men follow them. Women are the head of the household, and the birth of a girl is a victory; every boy born is a burden. Times have changed, and the world has eroded into a gender revolution. Yet, this is the best-kept secret of the era, one that no one would ever know. Was this a miracle of genetic engineering, social reform, or political upheaval? Did this happen overnight or over centuries of struggle? The textbooks speak nothing of it; the people have no memory of that dead-and-dusted era.

When time seems to have turned on its heel, it is difficult for the characters to trust each other anymore. What is the new equation between violence, kindness, and love? Who is a victim, and who are the perpetrators? Can equality truly exist? Who, then, has been murdered? Is it a phantasm, the past, or an illusion we live in? Listen in...and find out....

Gets better with each page

I wasn’t going to read the whole book but it grew on me once I got myself into the plot, it’s like watching a movie. Good fun !!

Wow! I’m speechless

A lot of twists and turns I was not expecting a real page turner!!! I enjoyed listening to this!

Too dark

I feel it was a horrible waste of my time to listen to such a dystopian story. Too depressing.
