Factual & Fresh! FULL CIRCLE by @saimini


BOOK REVIEW  

A main character that is 60 and her story still holds interest leaving the reader with hope and a positive vision for future; that is Full Circle for you.

In our lives we come across various elderly who never got a second chance at love and life. Even in the late 30 or early 40’s they are relegated to live life as shadows. No life, no love, no hope and definitely no future.

Here is a tale that talks about this issue of not just remarriage but remarriage of an elder of the family. Yamini’s novella raises a lot of very valid and much needed questions.

The story line is quite simple and uncomplicated yet it works. A story about looking back and looking for closure, hoping to revisit the land of youth and hoping to make amends. Malini chooses to go back to the land where she was born and yet when she finds what she is looking for, she hesitates before making her choice.

The language of the book is another plus point, clean, error free and crisp sentences. A smattering of the local language adds to the charm of the book. It could have been based anywhere and still come out a winner.

The ending is a bit abrupt for me, though it was concluded well but I think a little more interaction between Malini and Ranjan in present would have been better. It is a novella hence less scope but maybe the earlier portion could be shortened and the latter increased. Well, I am no author so it is just my opinion because all the portions between Ranjan and Malini were superb.

A thoughtful and fresh read for a weekend or short break.  

Readers, who look for substance in their romance and chutzpah in their chick-lit, look no further than FULL CIRCLE!!
