About this book

What if the life you’re living now isn’t the only life you’ve ever had? What if your past, your lost love, and your old enemies all came rushing back, forcing you to face them again? This is Gauri’s story. She’s not just a writer, she’s a woman whose past refuses to stay buried. After moving to Hyderabad, she meets Gautam, a DSP with a sharp mind and a mysterious feeling that something is missing in his life. He doesn’t know Gauri. He doesn’t know anything about their past. But Gauri knows everything. She remembers everything. Gautam was once her husband. In a past life. A life filled with love, betrayal, and death. Now, Gauri has one job and that is to convince Gautam that their love story is real, and that they are meant to finish what they started, in this life. But how do you prove something so unbelievable? How do you make someone believe that you shared a life together, only for it to be torn apart? Here’s where Gauri’s story takes an unexpected turn. She’s not like other women. Gauri has a strange power, she can teleport. One moment, she’s standing right in front of you, and in the blink of an eye, she disappears. It’s not magic, and it’s not a trick. It’s something she’s been able to do for as long as she can remember. She can vanish from one place and reappear in another, as if the very world itself bends to her will. It sounds impossible, doesn’t it? But Gauri’s power is real. And she knows it’s the only way she can prove to Gautam that she’s not lying. That everything she’s saying about their past, their love, and their enemies is true. But every time she disappears, every time she reappears, she risks pushing Gautam further away. How can she convince him when he doesn’t believe in what he can’t see? The truth is, Gautam’s life is tied to hers in ways he can’t understand. And to make things even more complicated, there’s a man named Raghuvir Malhotra, who is the key to everything. Raghuvir is the one who ruined them both in their past life. He’s the reason Gauri died and now, he’s back, and he’s ready to destroy them all over again. As Gauri tries to convince Gautam that their past is real, their connection grows stronger. But with each passing moment, danger closes in. Raghuvir’s secrets are powerful enough to tear apart everything they’re trying to build. And Gauri knows that if she doesn’t stop him, the same tragedy will repeat itself. But there’s a problem. Gauri’s power to teleport is getting harder to control. Every time she disappears, the risk grows. Will Gautam believe her in time? Will he trust her enough to join her in facing Raghuvir and bringing out the truth? The Teleporting Wife is a story filled with suspense. It’s about love that defies time, betrayal that refuses to be forgotten, and a woman who will do anything to make the man she loves believe in the impossible. Every time Gauri uses her teleportation, she risks losing Gautam forever. But it might be the only way to save both of them. Will the past finally be laid to rest, or will it destroy them both? This is just the beginning. And nothing is as it seems.

Soudia Parveen's 'The Teleporting Wife' delves into the extraordinary challenges faced by a seemingly ordinary couple when the wife, Maya, suddenly gains the ability to teleport. This speculative romance explores the profound impact of such a power on their marriage, forcing both Maya and her husband, Ben, to confront issues of trust, identity, and the very definition of their reality. As Maya navigates her new abilities, their relationship is tested by fear, suspicion, and the allure of untold possibilities, ultimately questioning if love can truly transcend the boundaries of the known world. The narrative blends elements of contemporary romance with a unique sci-fi premise to examine the resilience of human connection.

"The world hadn't changed, but Maya had. And that made all the difference."

Key themes

Trust and Communication in Marriage
This theme explores how an extraordinary secret or ability can strain the fundamental pillars of trust and open communication in a long-term relationship. It delves into the anxieties, suspicions, and emotional distance that can arise when one partner undergoes a profound, inexplicable change.
Identity and Self-Discovery
The novel examines how an individual's sense of self is challenged and redefined when confronted with an extraordinary ability or life-altering event. Maya's teleportation forces her to re-evaluate who she is, what she's capable of, and her place in the world, often leading to a conflict between her past identity and her potential future.
Freedom vs. Responsibility
This theme explores the tension between the boundless freedom offered by Maya's teleportation and the responsibilities she holds—to her marriage, her secrets, and potentially to society. It questions whether true freedom exists without consequence and the ethical dilemmas that arise from wielding immense power.

Worth discussing

How does Maya's ability to teleport metaphorically represent hidden aspects or changes within a long-term relationship?
