Publisher's Summary:
A Forgotten Affair is the story of Sagarika, who meets with a near-fatal accident on the day she decides to walk out of her marriage. She is severely injured in the serial bomb blasts in Mumbai's local trains and goes into a deep coma for months. Miraculously, she wakes up, only to realize she has no memory of her past.
As she recovers, she realizes that Rishab, who claims to be her husband, is evasive and steers away from her queries about their past. Much against her wishes, he takes her to his opulent Gurgaon bungalow, where a helping of maids look after her but do not aid her in finding any satisfactory answers about her life before the accident.
But what vexes her the most is the scent of men's perfume and a seemingly innocuous word: Cheeni. They jolt her blank mind, sending her into a frenzy of sorts. Why do they have such an effect on her? What is Rishab hiding, and why did he take her away from Mumbai? Faced with these questions, Sagarika can't help but wonder: did her accident erase the memory of something she cherished?

Breath taking story
Forgetting your memories is not knowing who you are,because the past makes you who you are regardless of good and bad memories as you need them both. The suspense of trying to figure out what she had forgotten was crazy as you are worried for her and what you know might happened. I totally enjoyed the story.

Memorable Indeed!
A Forgotten Affair is a deep, lyrical, and unsettling read for a love story yet it explores so many emotions and feelings as it shares another shade of love. Sagarika is struck in a world where everything is new, different and distant. No memories, domineering yet ambiguous husband, and a nonexistent family adds to her feeling lost as do the servants who spy. As she tries to make sense of her new self-obstacles litter her path.
The cover is what caught my fancy, so fresh, different and classy. The significance of the flowers, the reason for the title of the book and what is Sagarika truly searching for come through in the book. Kudos to Kanchana and HarperCollins, Harlequin imprint for this evocative cover.
On the surface, this book reads as a love story should. I felt the rage and pain that Rishab suffered as he fought to bring his wife from the brink of death. I felt the fear and sadness Rika experiences while she tries to recover, tries to love her husband and tries to remember what she is being told is important. Yet all is not what it seems, slowly the cracks appear and Kanchana entangles the reader in the abyss that Rika seems to be falling. Friends who want to help but are shut out. I could see the girl is in trouble, that the husband is definitely weird yet I could only read page after page, hoping for her safety, hoping for a miracle.
The book is fast paced, even as it is based in just one house where Rika is recovering, searching for the love she is reminded of, looking for the feelings she must have. Painfully, poignant as the pressure of words like âcheeniâ and fragrances, flashes of the past that threaten to bring her under as she struggles to find herself.
