______________
Sometimes we have such secrets that make us their prisoners. This is a story build upon this fact. Three characters who have contrastinh personalities and each carry within them some life altering secrets that can damage the lives of the other. Providing clarity is the best way to build relationships. What about the other way?
I love the cover. It is so artistic and eye catching. Now I truly liked the story. It starts with Meera the young at heart, frolic young girl and her family mbers who belong to a very strongely traditional culture. Thatha, grandfather of Meera is an upholder of religious and social system of Brahmins and had high reputation in the society. Finally after much ado heated argument came to an end with the decision that Meera will be able to avail higher education and she will be allowed to go to college.
Slowly the story starts to glide. It blossoms like a flower each step at a time. I liked how the plot has been crafted out. I liked the storytelling / narrative part. Very subtly it describes the events and one by one each important character enter and start weaving their parts carefully as the story takes its shape.
The fiction beautifully speaks of nuances of human emotions linked to each relationship we hold close to our hearts. It's a story about 3 characters but still the story of other ones add quite depth to it. It touches various themes and aspects of one's life and readers who are into serious heart touching reads will enjoy it's pace and overall message.
