Fellow Traveller ( by Rahul Saini ) Book Review

"Why are forbidden fruits so attractive "


The cover and the blurb do not reveal much about the actual story. A contemporary fiction that runs between two different timeline one when the protagonist Aayush is in the present and writes a letter and the other about the situations which he is writing about that revolves around emotional attachment , love , childhood sweetheart , past love failures , career stress , moving on to new life phase with memories .

But it also depicts few more things like devastating affect of drugs that new generation finds somehow cool . LGBT community is also discussed and the need to be open about these natural things .


I found few traits of Pari and Aayush a lot related to my persona, so I was able to correlate with their thoughts. To know the blurb check blog.Author Mr.Rahul Saini has taken time to display the raw emotions that go through a man's mind which is no less than a woman's and I liked the time he took to describe the subtleness.The sudden twists were quite effectively and thoughtfully arranged in different timelines to add depth and interest. The book is over 280+ pages.




One thing is if you donot understand Hindi , there are dialogues that are in hindi which has not been translated at times in English that may create gap in your grasping of the story. Narration style is really good with different fonts used that I felt aesthetically pleasing to me. But the story is kept light, lucid , casual contemporary words are used , even few curse words are there and it does have adult elements.



Memories will remain but we dont need to forget forcefully in order to move on.


Rate 3.6/5
