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.

    Til death We do part by Bruno Beaches is an emotional and heartbreaking story. The protagonist Pablo is a hardworking, upstanding police officer, proud of his long marriage and lovely family. His job revolves around assisting drug addicts to get over their addiction.
    Close to getting retirement, Pablo's life is changed due to a complaint against him at work. He ends up getting dismissed, divorced, without a home, and with a criminal record.
    The story portrays so many emotions like love, loss, betrayal, hope, and revenge. As the story unfolds, there come many twists and turns, making it hard to put down. The book talks about the challenges faced by a policeman and his family. It shows us how divorce affects not only the two people involved but the whole family.
    I loved the poems written by Pablo for his wife. I really appreciate the fact that the author has used letters as a medium for Pablo and his wife to communicate. The book is filled with so many heartbreaking moments I didn’t think my heart could endure it all.
    The narration felt a little slow at some points. Some aspects felt too dragged. Other than that the storyline is very strong with amazing characters. The character development is done significantly. Not only the main protagonists, but even the side characters left an impact on me. I really liked the character of Pablo's friend, Henry. While reading the book, I could feel the depth of pain of the characters.

    Till Death We Do Part is the story of Pablo, a reputed police officer, approaching his retirement after dedicatedly serving for long years with full honesty and dignity. Pablo’s life is all sorted with a beautiful and caring wife and four loving children. Like any normal person, Pablo also had plans to do things for his wife and children after retirement. But the moment when he was appreciating and being proud of his long marriage and years of service, life unfolded in the most unexpected way. One malicious complaint against Pablo ruined his years of devotion towards his job and worst, his wife divorced him. Everything that Pablo was proud of, has been crushed beneath the cruelty of his fate.

    Heartbreaks, humiliation, and divorces are anyways devastating, imagine facing all this at the age of retirement. Worst, isn’t it?

    This book unfolds the life of a policeman, challenges faced by them, and also picturizes the delicate human relationships. Various sorts of human emotions have been dealt with utmost grace and maturity. While reading the book, the depth of pain and suffering of the characters could be felt.

    This book talks about how divorces are destructive to a family as a whole and definitely for the people involved. Heartbreaks and betrayal can drain out all the emotions from a human leaving them vulnerable. This story voices all the feelings and sufferings in depth. Even the protagonist’s character development is also done with full precision.

    Read this book to endure yourself on a rollercoaster journey of emotions. From the inception only you can feel the attraction and attachment towards the characters and the story. Definitely a wonderful work of fiction.

    The protagonist of the book is Pablo who has perfect but monotonous life. 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.
    Now what? How he will cope up with this?
    Read to find out.

    My take:
    The book is slow-paced yet absorbing. I like the plot of the book. It’s engaging to the core. The description of the characters is in detail. I loved the writing style of the author but it has a scope of improvement. These things do not degrade the quality of the plot though. I loved this book if minor things are ignored. Moreover, it’s an honest story with no exaggeration and you will not be bored while reading this book. The book can make you emotional at times. Overall, it’s a perfect package of love, betrayal, hate, divorce, etc.
    I would recommend you to read it.

    Till Death We Do Part is a romantic fiction book written by Bruno Beaches. The main protagonist of the book is Pablo, a police officer who is diligent towards his word. He is married to Delilah who is also a very dutiful mother. But one fine day, one police complaint changed the whole dynamics of their life. Everything started getting ruined. How will he cope? Everything will be back to normal?

    The cover page of the book is simple and fascinating. The title of the book is also appropriate for the book. This is the debut book of the author but it doesn't feel like that. I appreciate the author for penning down such a great story. The plot of the book is gripping and written perfectly. I read this book in one go and it is an emotional read.

    The language of the book is simple and easy to understand. But in simple terms also the book created a huge impact when it comes to emotions. The author has narrated the book in a very lucid manner and described the scenarios perfectly well.

    The portrayal of every character is done very well but I feel that the connection between the characters and reader was not very strong. So this is something which should be improved upon but otherwise, I liked the book. I'll recommend this book to people who love emotional reads.

    Everything was going very well in Pablo's life when one day an unfortunate incident happens and that shook his personal and professional life. Will he be able to cope up??

    A story of love lost and found, of accepting life in its tinted glory, of teaching the art of moving on, throwing light on the importance of mental health, finding light at the end of the tunnel, "Till Death Do We Part" is what not!. It's not a fairytale, it's an honest and naked portrayal of life with all its beauty and complexities.

    With lots of twists and turns, this novel gives you a ride through the journey of life. It shows you the bumps, the thorns, and the roses as well. While you explore Pablo's life, you get a chance to look into your own life and introspect. Also, the author throws light into many societal issues like mental health issues, drug addiction, divorce, etc rather beautifully. Many pages are quite helpful and thought-provoking, especially ones about how open and meaningful communication can build a good relationship.

    Even though at places I felt the narration was too dragged and unnecessary, still I loved how the story was going and I felt connected to it. If you are going through an emotional turmoil or a mental breakdown, Pablo's life will help you to an extent to perch on to hope and provide you with much-needed strength and courage. Can't wait for the sequel!

    Beginning from the cover of the book, the heart is in two pieces and symbols of love. After reading this book, I have found that the book is perfectly made as per the storyline.
    As the title of the book screams about the bond, broken relationship and I really loved the way everything come out in sync. This is a story about Pablo who is the protagonist and working as a police officer.
    The author has explained about the police duty and roles at the beginning of the book and after those minute details book picks up the plot and I must agree to this fact that this is page-turner since then. The officer is leading his life with so much dedication and honesty. But one day everything crushes like a house of cards. On his work, one phone call made everything questionable about his duty on the professional front, as he has been charged in the molestation case of one of the drug addicts. As things become messy his time gets consumed on the professional front which made his marriage suffer. Due to which his marriage broke. The book really talks about what is important to hold a relationship. Which is really commendable. The language and narration of the story are just mind-blowing throughout. I would say one of the best reads so far of this year.
