Pablo is a hardworking, upstanding police officer, proud of his long marriage and lovely family. Through decades of quiet dedication and single-minded devotion he has achieved the successes one strives for in life, both with his family and career. Close to retirement and to sitting back and enjoying the fruits of a successful career and marriage, a malicious spurious complaint at work should have no material consequences on his life, but it starts a domino effect, and before long he finds himself shockingly dismissed, divorced, without a home, and with a criminal record. This story explores a convoluted tragic journey of divorce, rich with emotion, loss, betrayal, revenge and confusion. Along the way it explores the dynamics of what makes a relationship weak and vulnerable, or strong and resolute. It’s not a miserable story, but one of resilience, hope, and true love. It is told with an immense depth of feeling, insight, humour and faith, and there are many truly surprising twists and turns as the story unfolds.

The author is a retired police officer who has had a lot of life experience. He was married to his first wife for thirty years and they raised four children. Following a divorce, he married again and divorced just three years later. Apart from writing, he plays the piano, loves gardening and has carried out a lot of DIY building projects in his spare time. He is a ‘people person’, and has always taken a keen interest in behavioural psychology and relationships.

    It is about a police officer working for End Drug Addiction Services but the plot is less about crime and more about the elements of marriage. The agony and pain of attempting to sustain a failing marriage, dealing with the heartbreak and mustering up the courage to let go is what livens up the plot for the readers. At times it may become a little repetitive but that only reinstates the shackled relationship of Pablo and his wife Delilah who struggle to break through their insecurities. What intrigued me most is the expression of feelings through letters by the couple when they found it difficult to face each other and surpass their reservations. The inclusion of court trials and legal proceedings made the turmoil more realistic.

    The book is about a police officer called Pablo, everything is good for him, he's a family of 4 kids, a beautiful loving wife, good job, work that he loves to do, until a day life decides to roll it's dice. An allegation is made against him, and his world begins to feel as if it would crumble down.
    The book explains the role of relationships, the old school marriage system where husband and wife felt dutiful and bound to each other, it also shows how society reacts when you get into a fix.

    I loved reading the book and hope that there is a sequel to it!

    In our age and time, marriages are no more an eternal bond. We all have witnessed at least 1 divorce in our lifetime. This book talks about the changing relationship dynamics in our age where marriages have become trivial. I absolutely loved the execution of this idea. I have read An American marriage before which tackles the same subject but this book went a tad deeper inside me. The love letters written by Pablo are going to stay with me for a long.

    Love is a necessary twisted tragedy. What is life without love? Pablo's love for his wife was eternal and he had a noble profession. Pablo was a man with pride he was determined, he was respected, he was praised up until a gloomy day when a complaint was registered against him and that day forth his life was never the same again.
    He being a loving husband was worried only about how her wife is gonna register this. Pablo is a well structured character he is smart, he is emotionally, he is devoted and he was the need of the plotline. Bruno made sure that being a protagonist Pablo's emotions must be crystal clear for the audience to be able to feel the storyline. Coming to talk about this storyline, I expected it to be a little expeditious because it was the need of the hour but it was as slow as molasses in January. That being said I must say this storyline is really strong and it's something we should be talking more about.
    Plot requires the ability to remember what has already happened, to figure out the relationships between events and people, and to try to project the outcome and till the last breath was truly everything. Amazingly written! The book truly stands out.
    ______
    This book is an experience which I can't think I can trade. It's a journey of truth and love through different stages of life. Until death we do part is a book you will end up being disappointed with its something which will give you immense peace towards the end.

    This is a beautiful but melancholic love story that takes a reader on an emotional rollercoaster ride.
    Here is Pablo, a family man who is very hardworking police who always stands for the truth. With years of hard work and truthful dedication, he has built a life to cherish about. A beautiful loving family and a successful career. When he is proud of his long marriage his decades of hard work near to his retirement when it is time to sit back and enjoy comes crashing down when a malicious spurious complaint at work gives his life a big blow. When things seem so perfect actually the storm is lurking in the corner. In the fall of a hat, he is dismissed, divorced, and becomes homeless in no time alongside now a criminal record. Was it all conspiracy or what happened that threw him into this spiral of damages? The protagonists are thoughtful characters. Almost like a thriller, this book proves to be a convoluted tragic journey of divorce that leaves deep scars. A story-rich with myriads of emotions which makes and breaks your heart and later leaves an afterglow. From unconditional love, having everything in life to when life turns upside down in no time leaving behind memories, loss, betrayal, revenge, and confusion. The story again explores people's insecurities and strengths, different aspects of familial and romantic relationships. But amidst all the twists and turns portraying unpredictability of life, it speaks of never losing hope and the urge to be resilient. I hope this book also comes up with a sequel.

    The cover of this book is so beautifully designed and the title is so intriguing that I'm instantly lured to delve into the depths of the story. I'm not a fan of love stories but this book has so much to offer and it proved to be simply unputdownable for me. This isn't just any love story, or for that matter, not even a tragic love story; this is a story that expresses a plethora of emotions - it's a story of love, devotion, honesty, family, resilience, hope, faith, struggles, tragedy and much more.

    The story revolves around our protagonist, Pablo, who is a hard-working and honest police officer and also a loving family man. After years of dedicated work, close to retirement, a complaint at work turns his life upside down. Not only this, the effects contagiously spread to his personal life and ruin his happy marriage.
    What lies in fate for Pablo? Will he get back what he lost or will it be a new beginning for him?

    I'm totally in love with the writing style of the author! Descriptive writings often turn out boring but I was absolutely hooked on this story till the end. The theme is very uniquely depicted and the plot is intricately woven. The narration is absolutely engaging. The descriptions throughout the story make it so vivid and lively. The language is quite furnished and the choice of words deserves appreciation. Initially, I found the language a little difficult and embellished, but soon I could catch up with the flow of the story. The story portrays a lot of characters but the unique attributes of each one have been depicted so wonderfully that in no way it feel confusing. So, characterisation is another aspect of the story that deserves special mention. The story is not very fast but it has a lot of unexpected twists and turns which made me crave to read what's coming next. The presentation, execution are noteworthy and this is certainly an example of well-knit storytelling.

    The story definitely has a lot more to offer than what you can guess from the blurb. If you're looking for something out of the box, this masterpiece is certainly worth a try!

    Til Death We Do Part is a romantic novel by Bruno Beaches. In this novel, the author aims to explain some important concepts like the sanctity of marriage.

    The plot of the novel revolves around Pablo who is a police officer. One day he was unjustly accused of something he did not do. Soon his wife started behaving absurdly and then announced her decision of leaving him after thirty years of marriage.

    The story has its highs and lows as an ideal novel should. However, Delilah's side of the story has only been explained once in the book. The rest of the novel only talks about Pablo's side of the story.

    Pablo makes every possible effort to make his marriage work. He even writes beautiful letters to his wife. What I loved about these letters is the inclusion of Bible verses. Pablo, even in his grief always keeps God close to him.

    Pablo's devotion towards his life is commendable even after what she did to him. Pablo's wife Delilah and her actions seem very irrational. Sometimes she appears to be a gullible person who gets carried away, while at other times she claims that she had been suffering for long in the relationship. Even if all this is ignored, filing a case of abuse and then a restraining order is simple an over-reaction. Throughout this book, Delilah's character has eluded me because I have not been able to figure what happened to her and why she started behaving that way.

    Til Death We Do Part is an amazing romantic novel. It is about love, marriage, and fidelity. This book is definitely worth a read.
