About this listen

"Not your average love story."

The woman in Red has a secret admirer.

Amazon top 30 best seller in Asian American Literature.

Two strangers on the same path.

Survivors. Companions.

They will be each other’s salvation.

On a rainy, winter night, a mysterious woman in a red dress seeking shelter comes inside the restaurant Kabir was busy working in —primarily the bar. Night after night, drink after drink, she comes back to the same spot. That is where he sees her for the first time.

Hundreds of patrons around her try to speak with her daily, but she dismisses them. It appears she wants to remain in a blissful peace alone with her booze and books. After seeing the mysterious woman reading a book, and because of his shy nature, Kabir gains entrance into her life by anonymously leaving books with notes for her.

The Name of Red is the story of two strangers, two different personalities who meet on a winter, rainy night who challenge each other. They have a connection which blossoms into a friendship due to their fondness of books. But they both have secrets that can bind them together or threaten their newfound relationship forever.

Recommended for fans of Sense and Sensibility, The Forty Rules of Love, and A Walk to Remember.

I enjoyed listening to David Morningside

This is a slow burning love story, a pure and deep love built on a foundation of friendship, trust and respect.
An intriguing & thoroughly enjoyable listen. Kabir and Red both have emotional turmoil in their lives that connect them and bring them to an understanding.
