Review: This novel revolves around the central character, Alunkrita, who works in the
corporate sector of IT. She discovers a
disabled and abandoned child, Anokhi (which she names her later), and brings her
to her home to take care of her. Slowly and steadily Anokhi becomes the
motivation of her life and her mundane corporate life does not seem to be
dominating now. When she returned from her office, Anokhi’s description of
her day at school and her mesmerizing skills of art would always enchant
Alunkrita. Alunkrita’s life consists of Sowmya, her childhood best friend who
invites her to be her partner in her business venture with Parth, who was her
lover from her school days. Alunkrita was in a relationship with Parth and
because of the career priorities of pre-University days of preparation, their relationship
broke up on a bitter tone and Alunkrita has still not forgiven Parth for
that incident. It was from that incident,
Alunkrita has never fallen in love until she meets the neighbor, Siddharth who
located from Dehradun to her neighbor’s house which remained empty for many months.
Alunkrita’s attraction towards Siddharth grew more over the fact that he bonded
so well with Anokhi.
One day, Alunkrita’s mother
arrives at her home surprisingly and finds Anokhi to be there. There’s an unpleasant
discussion about Anokhi between the two. Anokhi overhears their discussion and
Alunkrita’s plan to send her to a boarding school in the future. The fact of going
away from Alunkrita saddens Anokhi.
Alunkrita plans a surprise
birthday plan for Anokhi where she has also invited an orthopaediatrician couple
who will be doing surgery on Anokhi’s feet so as to remove her disability. On
her birthday, Anokhi goes missing. After a lot of efforts of Alunkrita, Siddharth
, Sowmya and Parth, it’s Parth who finally finds Anokhi and takes her to her
office the next day after finishing off all formality.
All misunderstandings
between Alunkrita and Parth starts to fade away after Anokhi’s discovery and
Alunkrita decides to give love a second chance after Parth’s honest confession
of feelings towards her. Both of them get engaged and plan to marry in the next two
months. Parth gifts a well-designed office room to Alunkrita to begin the
start-up journey that she has always wished to.
Alunkrita gives a nod to
Siddharth’s wish to adopt Anokhi and take her to his home at Dehradun.
Siddharth, a widower, who has lost his wife and daughter, in a car accident, feels
that Anokhi would alleviate the emptiness of his daughter, Diya in his life.
With an understanding partner, Parth by her side, Alunkrita’s journey of the
infinite road of life now seems less challenging.
My Review:
First of all, I would like
to thank my dear blogger friend, Shefali for gifting me her book as a Christmas
gift and this is a really great book to end the year with! It’s really great to
connect with one of the dear blogger friends of google+ days and witness her
pursuing her passion along with her profession.
I always prefer a happy
ending in fiction and I am glad the story has a happy ending to it. I like the
way the characters have been introduced in the plot and connected to the
existing characters. The style of describing different events and expressing different
emotions is simply superb. The narrating style is so interesting and engaging that
I finished the book within three sitting and I felt like I was one of those
neighbors of Alunkrita who witnessed everything happening in her life and
neighborhood. I was so engrossed in the plot that I left everything aside to
finish off this book. Believe me, it was a very engaging read! With this novel, I'm successful in completing the 2020 Reading Challenge of Goodreads
I would definitely
recommend you to read it. I’m sure about the fact that when you get hold of
this novel, you’ll simply lose track of the time until you reach the last page
of it which exactly happened in my case.
I wish the budding Author and my friend great success in all her
future endeavors.
