Author Zia McNeal's parents met in 1966 in Bombay, India. They were engaged after knowing each other for 10 days and were married for over 48 years before her father passed away. McNeal draws inspiration from her parent's romance in her new novel, "Number Eleven: A Love Story in 1960's Bombay" (published by Archway Publishing), which follows a young man racing the clock to find love in India.
Amir was born in Bombay but moved to the U.S. for college. Now he is returning to Bombay, where he hopes to find a bride. There's just one problem: he only has three weeks to find her.
Nazeera, a recent college graduate, is looking for a decent guy to marry. Despite several of her friends having arranged marriages, her parents are letting her choose her own husband. Nazeera thought she found the perfect suitor, but becomes conflicted when she meets Amir, who loves her for her confidence.
"Number Eleven" follows Amir and Nazeera, as they struggle to decide if they're the right match or not. Amir loves Nazeera for her personality and confidence, but is that enough to set himself apart from her other suitor, a man with wealth and charm who lives in her own country?
