A cage of desires.

A big thank you to the author for sending this review copy in exchange of an honest review. .

Sanity and I have never really gotten along, and it is too late in the day to make friends with it now Shuchi Singh Kalra. .
.
It’s no secret that women are fierce, strong and also warm. They can make a home and can also bring down one, if unjust is served. Despite of going through all the hurdles on her own, a woman can still stand tall and not complain. .
.
This novel was utterly captivating because it talks about passion and desires that women seek. The lead is a middle aged married woman, Renu who gives up her career to look after her family. She dwindles in an unhappy marriage all her life and starves for love from her husband. Things go awry when her marriage falls apart and she finds love in someone else’s arms. Renu does not shy away from being herself as she blooms into a strong and independent woman. This story is beautifully narrated by the author by considering all the emotions that a woman feels.
.
.
To every woman out there, this book talks about how to stand up for yourself and not to settle for something less. Because why let our desires and passion die like burning embers when it can burn like the brightest fire? :) .
.
I would rate this book 4.5/5.

A Girl to Remember. .

Thank you @srishtipub for sending over the review copy :)

They say every human has two sides to them. Angel and Demon. While the good side of us stops us from doing anything irresponsible, the dark side tries to succumb to temptations. This book is the story of how a man is a slave of his body. Will he be able to redeem his bad deeds? .
.
Neel is a Mathematics teacher in a posh high-school who has a terrible weakness. His demon lurked within the corners of his heart and leaps out when he spots beautiful women. His good looks and charming personality only adds fuel to get his job done. When Neel is kicked out of school for having flirted with his student, he suddenly finds him homeless and devastated. .
.
He turns lucky when a student he doesn’t know ,Pihu, offers him a rented house at a very cheap rent. Pihu, who is always chirpy and bubbly appears to be in love with Neel. .
.
While Neel is attracted to Pihu’s mom, unsolved questions swim around in his head. Why was luck suddenly in his favour and what was the secret behind Pihu being an isolated child. Being a cold hearted person himself, Neel fails to have a connection with his own family. He’s selfish, brutal and also utterly pervert in his actions. -
Will Pihu change his outlook towards life? Or will he choose to be the same stone hearted guy like he always was? .
.
This book was a simple read with raw and honest ideas of an adult. The sexual desires that the protagonist feels in this book has been transparent and there’s a no nonsense kind of feel around the entire book. .
.
Though I did find a few sentences being repeated more often, the story is captivating and quite different from what I’ve read. The characters are well written and executed. .
.
I would rate this book 3.5/5.

The other side of her. .
Thank you for the review copy @srishtipub. I thoroughly enjoyed this book :) .
.
The protagonist in the story is an award winning author called Revathi. When Revathi who was termed as the Queen of romance, loses her husband in a terrible car accident, she succumbs to depression. Immediately she faces writer’s block and even after months pass by, she cannot write down a single story. When the doctor prescribes for a scene change, Revathi then moves to Kerala to be with her elder sister. What I thought would be a cheesy romantic novel, turned into a thriller one! . .
Soon after moving to Kerala, she faces out of body experiences and gets haunted by ghost of a girl called Parvati. When she realises that Parvati had a terrible tragedy, she knows within the bones of her body that she has to find justice. Rest of the story shows the struggles of Revathi as she unveils the culprit after running around in a never ending maze.
.
.
The characters in the book are thoughtful and structured. The suspense is what made me finish the book in just a day. The plot is beautifully executed and kept me guessing about the villain. The author has done a tremendous job in penning down this book by truly capturing the essence of mystery.

The Wildlands. .

Thank you so much @counterpointpress for sending over this review copy! :) .

QOTD : If you could save Earth one step at a time, what would be your first step? .
.
When a tornado hits the tiny city of Mercy, Oklahoma, four siblings lose their father and home to it. Darlene, Tucker, Jane and Cora are orphaned instantly as their father never makes it to the safe bunker. When the entire responsibility of looking after the McClouds falls on a 19 year old Darlene, she reaches out to media for help. Posing in front of hundreds of cameras with her sisters by her side, she gives interviews in return of cash. She gives up her hopes of attending college and takes up a job in a grocery store. Tucker, a man with wild dreams shuns from interviews and runs away from home, from his sisters. .
.
Three years later, on the anniversary of the Tornado that destroyed the McClouds, an injured Tucker reappears mysteriously at the same time of the bombing Joy cosmetics. News are all over the State that lab testing animals were freed from the lab. He reaches out to his favourite sister Cora, who’s just 9 years old and they both vanish off the face of Mercy. .
.
Tucker is full of dreams, dreams of freeing animals from zoos and labs and save them rom suffering. He transforms young Cora into Corey by chopping off her hair and filling her mind with ideas of saving the planet. She becomes his accomplice as he continues with his spree of murdering people and setting animals free. When months go by, Cora starts missing her sisters and realises that Tucker has never been right. A misfortune strikes and Tucker finds himself in grave danger but many questions haunt you as you put the book down.
.
.
This book is so marvellously written that I almost pictured the visuals in front of me while reading. The protagonist is divided into two parts each being narrated by Cora and Darlene. The sisterly love, the naïveté of Cora and Tucker’s obsession with being the saviour is so well portrayed in this book that it blew my mind. The story flows freely with no glitches whatsoever and makes you understand everybody’s side of the story. .
.
I would rate this book 5/5.

Inkredia. .
.
Huge thank you to @authorsarang for sending a review copy.
.
Over the years, we have all read fantasy stories about people escaping from the jaws of death while it involves magic and nonhuman forms. We have loved few and we weren’t too fond of others. When I started reading Inkredia, little did I know that I would come to enjoy it so much :) .
.
When a village (Brida) lad, Luwan refuses to pay tax, he knows he has dug up his own grave. Lord Gruwak doesn’t take no for an answer and word spreads across the village that Luwan will be punished for his outburst. When Luwan was entrusted with a book and a medallion before his mother passed away, little did he know that it would change the course of his destiny. He listens to what the magic book says and leaves Brida with his sister Meg in tow. .
His escape sets the ball in motion and soon he realises that the entire universe is conspiring against him. More often that not he faces the terrible wrath of the Ghork riders who are not humans. Whose power is known well across the Kingdom. Inspite of facing constant troubles, he finds an saviour in a stranger, Kiliarn who does everything he can to keep the siblings safe. .
As they face the demons and supernatural powers, a thought starts forming in Luwan’s head about the reason for this wild goose’s chase. Are they really hunting him down for just missing a tax pay or is there a darker reason for him being chased?
.
There are a lot of twists and turns in this book that made me grip the book hard and urged me to finish the book to know where the pages would lead me to. The writer has done such a marvellous job in forming a connection with readers at such an extent that praises of this book is now everywhere! I’m really rooting for a movie to be made on this one because I know for a fact that it’ll be a splendid one. The plot is perfect with no flaws whatsoever, the characters are beautifully developed and structured, the vocabulary and hold on the language are skill-full.
I would rate this book 5/5.

Home Fire.
🍃
"For girls, becoming women was inevitability; for boys, becoming men was ambition." - Kamila Shamsie.
🍃
This book has been a controversy magnet lately and post reading this book, I can associate with those who didn't quite like this read.
🍃
Home Fire is the story of a Muslim family living in England. The Pasha children are orphaned at a very young age and grow up under the cruel spotlight of having a Jihadi father. Isma, the eldest sister takes on the role of mother and tends to her twin siblings, Aneeka and Parvaiz. This story talks about how Parvaiz decides to leave his family behind in England to join ISIS. In order to save her twin, Aneeka decides to lure in Eamonn who happens to be Isma's accidental friend and also the son of Home secretary.
🍃
The story unwinds gradually and the plot gets intense when the author starts depicting the life of Muslims living in a non-Muslim land. The scrutiny, the questions and glares that they receive in a foreign land are incredulous. There were few instances when I could truly relate why this book created such a whirlwind amongst the Muslim community. However strong the storyline was, the ending was a bit disappointing and left me dejected.
🍃
After seeing many good reviews about this and also witnessing few disapproval from certain community, I do however have to appreciate the writing style. The language was incredible, the characters could have used a bit more support and keeping aside the entire controversy part aside, I do appreciate her effort in bringing forward to light how non-Muslims have to face certain unjust moments when they live away in a foreign land.
🍃
I would love to have a discussion about this book so those who have read it, please do drop in your comments. I would rate this book 3.5/5.

Jasmine Days.
🌺
The story takes place in an unnamed middle eastern country during the time of revolt, freedom, protests and patriarchal society. The protagonist in the story is a migrant called Sameera who moves to the country and takes up the job of a RJ in a well known radio station. She notices different groups of people based on their language and religion and over the time, music brings a bunch of people together including Sameera.
🌺
Here, she meets Ali, a man who later becomes her best friend, who voices his opinions about setting their country free by bringing down the Majesty's rule. When the turmoil sets in to end the rule, the immigrants are asked to leave the country, blood is shed and religions are divided into many. The book portrays the relationship between Shias and Sunnis which has been explained in detail.
🌺
Sameera narrates the story by talking about the horrific things she had to witness during the Arab revolution. How her family became a target simply because they were immigrants and also belonged to the police department. I later searched on the internet about Arab revolution and was stunned by how ignorant I was about everything that had happened. Sameera struggles with her emotions as she witnesses many losses and about having to think of forgiveness and anger. The book leaves you with a question to ponder upon.
🌺
Having had high expectations about this book after it won the JCB prize, I was really excited to give it a read. Half way through the book, I was still waiting for that strong pull. Though the plot was exceptionally written, it somehow fell flat in the middle. I was disappointed by Sameera's development in the very end. I know that I'll be among the minority by not actually liking this book as much as I wanted to. But this book did not excite me.

"You cannot tell them about your life. It would reveal your caste. Because your life is your caste, your caste is your life." - Sujatha Gidla.
🌸
It's hard to sum up a book that is so honest and raw. The author talks about how her family and many others in Andhra had to face the atrocities of untouchability. This is the author's own story as she does her research and gathers all the information about her family.
🌸
Untouchability was a major factor back when India was just free from the British. The caste system was taken seriously and anyone who breaks it had to pay hefty fines or were excommunicated. The book has two major characters. One being Sujatha's uncle Sathyam and her mother, Manjula. Sathyam was always a revolutionist. Being a college dropout due to poverty he started getting involved in politics and starts writing poems. Gradually he gets dragged into communist parties and he stays there for good.
🌸
Manjula, was an intelligent woman who was always looked down upon by her friends for being black, skinny and untouchable. She was the closest comrade that her brother had and her interest piqued in matters outside the village. She like others first-handly experienced the injustice and various rituals that untouchables had to go through. How Hindus were converted to Christianity to survive poverty and afford education, how women were supposed to dress up plainly to not attract attention and how caste was above everything. Above God even.
🌸
I expected this book to be focussed on untouchability and untouchability alone but the author explained about communism and politics that dates back to the Nizam and Nehru. The author herself was a young rebel who was jailed and tortured when she was just 19. This book to me was an eyeopener. I had of course, heard about caste system but this book contains every knowledge about how India became the nation that it is today.
🌸
If you are expecting this to be a good entertainer then you'll be disappointment.There's no beating about the bush.I would rate this book 4.5/5.

Poonachi.
🐐
This book has been staring at me everytime I visit a bookstore. It's everywhere. The cover, I admit is fascinating. The storyline is subtle yet powerful nonetheless. Perumal Murugan is a genius and I'll tell you why.
🐐
What starts off as a fable weaves magic and eventually draws you in. The author is known for choosing versatile topics and putting it out for the world to read and enjoy. Poonachi was no different and at the end, my heart sobbed. Murugan talks about the lives of cattle and the caretakers who constantly check on them.
🐐
When a stranger hands off a tiny black goat to an old man and asks him to take care of her, the elderly couple are left bewildered. They then name her Poonachi. The goat looked feeble and helpless. People and also other animals would butt around and make fun of the goat for being so tiny. The story is so vividly written from the perspective of the goat as well as from the caretakers point of view that it left me amazed.
🐐
Poonachi grows up under the protection of the old woman and learns about the ways of a goat's life. She goes through heartbreak, pain, longing and also confusion. She finds love only to lose it later. She lives a grand life and yet is cursed for being so problematic. This book shows the relationship between fellow cattle and also between the people. With the arrival of Poonachi, the old couple's relationship turns sweeter.
🐐
The author has mentioned in great detail about every minute feeling that Poonachi felt throughout her life. The tragic end of the book had me reeling. This book was much hyped and I personally felt it was worth it. I would rate this book 5/5.
