The Truth in it's Essence by Veena Shekher

The Truth in its Essence is a beautiful book that speaks of  many characters at once linked by simple threads of relationships. 

Do you have a secret? And if someday the world comes to know about it would it be for the better or the worst ? Have you even put a thought upon it ? 

Such is the life of these people. A single mom , a young man, a supporting neighbour and a boss. All of them have a happy life. From outside everything seems well and good until you enter their inner selves which each hide a dark secret from the past or the present. 

Suri has a dark past where an incident shakes his soul up. The single mom had a secret that if comes to light can break many bonds. Similarly the habit of a person if gets spilled can change his world and another once witness of some incidents cut him from his near and dear ones but they all keep mum not revealing their secrets in any way. But twists of life are unknown and thus with its tricks they all come up. What happens next  is something to read. It's a tale of hope , reassurance, loss , resilience. Truth may be bitter but better than lies. How does it look when the truth with all its essence come out ? 

Loved the cover, the theme of the plot which is thoughtful and the overall read. Recommended .
