Review

Even in today’s scenario somewhere this book puts itself in the bracket of reality. Sudha Murty’s writings has shown the reality of world perfectly . It has perfectly depicted the characters, plot, plot twists and emotions of the characters mentioned. With her simple and engaging form of writing she has bought lives in her characters. The story can be easily framed in Indian women. In my view, Sudha’s forte is simple primitive writings and her way to engage the readers till last moment is very astonishing. She has shown the strong image of independent woman and has shown the sacrifices for the well being of the family. The story is short and easy to read , easy to relate. The story is unfolded beautifully and her way to explain is such that you can visualize it while reading.
Overall, a nice read.
