Reading Durga in Nigeria felt like stepping into someone’s private world, where pain, faith, and healing sit quietly beside each other. From the very first chapter, I felt pulled into Saani’s emotions,her loneliness, her confusion, and the strange strength that slowly grows inside her. The story moves between Pune and Lagos, and the writer shows both places with a calm, steady touch that made me feel close to the characters.
What I liked most about the book comes down to four things:
1. Saani’s emotional journey, it feels honest, slow, and very human.
2. The mix of modern life and old beliefs, shown in a way that feels natural, not forced.
3. Anant’s guilt, which is written with quiet tension instead of drama.
4. The mother-like, ancient presence Saani meets, which adds a beautiful layer of mystery.
The story never rushes, and that worked well for me. Saani’s rebuilding process is gentle, and the silence around her pain feels very real. Anant’s return to India with his heavy secret shows how two people can break each other and still carry a piece of that moment forever. What touched me most was how the book explores strength,not loud strength, but the kind that grows slowly after a big hurt. It made me think about how faith sometimes appears when we stop looking for it.
Overall, this book felt calm, deep, and full of emotion. It stayed with me long after I closed it. And yes, I got it from Amazon.
