About the Author
Though I have already reviewed another book by her earlier I would still like to quote what is written about her in this book's introduction as I feel this does complete justice to her personality and writing style..
Arti Honrao has the ability to pour the words in such a way that you won't only end up imagining the characters revolving around you, but will also be involved in the feelings created by the flow of her writings. She knows the art of converting her thoughts into the imagination of readers mind.
"Me" thinks
The first thing that strikes you about this book is its tag line, " I always believe in living each day at a time, until...." This cue is enough to set your mind running, wanting to devour this book at the next available moment to know until what? The opening passages also add up to the suspense element making you eagerly anticipate the next development in the story. There are a thousand questions running in your mind every moment as you are reading this book.Needless to say the narrative is very intriguing and gripping which is very essential in such stories.
The story is mainly about a girl Kavya who is full of life, on the threshold of youth, raring to go and explore what life has in store for her. It's about ;
It highlights the extremes of the entire gamut of emotions you can associate with human relationships.This book re-emphasizes on the fact that life is very unpredictable. You never know what is going to happen the next moment. As you feel the central character Kavya's pain and agony through the words, you actually silently pray for her hoping for some miracle.
Like the author's blog's name suggests each and every word in this book seems to be straight from the heart as it hits you on your face and makes you come face to face with reality which otherwise we conveniently ignore though existent around us. I personally detest domestic violence a lot and avoid reading it altogether. But in this book Arti has very beautifully managed to not portray a picture of a hapless victim. Kavya, comes across as a strong person who knows how to deal with it and maintain her dignity at the same time. The author manages to explore various roles played by a woman in daily life - that of a daughter, wife, lover, sister, friend, confidante and a mother.
In our life all of us at some point have taken certain decisions in that high headed stage of giddy teenage years and royally repented it forever. This book is clearly a must read as it emphasizes "It's never too late to rectify your mistakes."
