This story is about the strong bond between a mother and her daughter. The plot is based in 70s where Maya is an ordinary girl living in sub urbs of God's own country that is beautiful Kerala .Admist the green peaceful surroundings , she and her mother enjoys the simple ways of life.But a sudden proposal of marriage from a man based in Europe makes their life take a turn.



The fear of loosing her dreams makes Maya go through things that land her into discovering her true self and thus the pages start unfolding the beautiful bond beautiful her and Kripa.

I donot want to reveal away the central story here but here are my thoughts.

The character development has been taken care of thoughtfully.

There are two phases in which this book is divided into . Each phase has few chapters that are kept short making it a easy read with Lucid language.




Those phases start with an illustration each added with a beautiful poem that has deep meanings.It adds to the beauty and uniqueness of this book.



The moments and the background are vividly described making it visually capturable.

The twists and turns are nicely placed.

The story carries the essence of Malyalam culture . The Clavis makes it an enriching read.



The Author has taken time to effectively put stress on the supporting system we all need in life by describing the emotional moments beautifully.




A heart warming story you may check and a different kind of read that takes up various human emotions blending them into a nice tale.

My rate - 4/5
