Book Review (on demand of the Author)—The Name of Red, Authored by Beena Khan

I picked this book as the author directly reached out to me and asked to give it a review. At first I didn’t know if I would enjoy it, but when I started reading it, the impressive starter grabbed my attention—“Not “everything beautiful is long-lasting,” and seriously, it was the point where I realised it was my type of book. It was not an ordinary fiction.

The beautiful yet realistic line led me towards an imaginative journey in this book.

The plot is very simple yet tempting. The story is excellently narrated and pleases the senses or mind aesthetically, and somewhere in the story, I felt the touches of reality; I found something close to actuality, which made it more magnificent. I loved the characters.

It is something far beyond the literature zone. When I ended, I came to know that this was all fictitious and the cruel reality still exists out there to deal with.

This book is a good escape from reality. Thank you, Beena, for giving us such a wonderful story.

Highly Appreciable and Recommended.

 

BERNICE TAKES A PLUNGE

When the author reached out to me to review this book, I was not sure if my experience would go well with this mystery, as I had never read such, but later I found myself going in depths of unknown hidden beautifully under words. I became so much engrossed in the adventures of the characters, and behind the tale I discovered a lesson, which was to remain determined, courageous, and fearless of facing disasters lying ahead of life; no matter what you are going to face, never be fearful and take the plunge.

When I started reading this, I couldn’t put it down. I liked Bernice’s character—so colourful, lovable, and narrated so beautifully. Her adventures made me love her character so much.

This adventurous tale makes me want to read more of that.

A good tale to read. Highly recommended. 

 

Top Down Day

I picked up this book when the author reached out to me directly and asked to review it. Thank you, Nicole Overby, for offering me this wonderful opportunity. This book left me in tears. I felt the real pain while reading this, and at most of the points, I felt each character’s pain. My journey through this one’s personal tragedy and great loss was not easy; it shook me completely. I couldn’t put the book down, and tears continued rolling down my cheeks to the end of the book. I admire the author’s courage to replay it all and put it into words, which she has suffered through. I found this book really emotional yet captivating.

When I read this book, I found myself in between an emotional discussion over the loss of a loved one and a feeling of helplessness. It’s a truthful and heart-wrenching story, but it also helps a person with healing over an unexpected loss and makes us feel the pain of others.

I really appreciate your honest writing and am looking forward to reading more from you.

Highly Appreciable and Recommended.

Under Sapphire Skies, We Were Infinite

The night before today, I encountered a fantasy about us: you and me, under the sapphire moonlight, tiny, vivid, glossy stars, a sight of the ocean with a light wind, soothing sand under our feet, my fingers tightened into yours, eyes displaying each other's reflection, tousled hair, uneasy breath, so merging into one another's souls as if making us one; we were weaving an endless memory of being one. Wind is singing our song of love; the universe is witnessing us being trove of love and the devotion and tenderness we are radiating, both to the world and to each other's souls. The ocean, with its dark energy, is astonishingly dancing with its waves to make our moment of being one feel whole; the night sky is unfolding its beautiful colours to shape an idyllic moment of happiness, and we are delightedly holding each other's image while pushing the pressures of the world to their limits, admiring each other to the utmost. ~ Zara

A Sky That Held My Unspoken

The nights like these, where you gaze at the stars: the bright, shiny stars, under the dark sky with their reflections and gleaming sparkles. You gaze at them to the extent that they begin aligning according to you, where they start talking to you, sending the signals you have always waited for. After all, they are the witnesses of all your sorrows, the griefs, and the unsaid words that have remained tugged inside your very soul like a knife, cutting it internally with such brutality that it rendered you nowhere. They have witnessed how you have never come across a moment where you could have opened yourself to breathe.  These stars, accompanying the moon, are the companions of your loneliness that has never been seen by the world, the alphabets that never got aligned in front of the external world, the memories that tarnished you from inside but kept playing in front of your eyes till you surrendered yourself to their fate. The silent heavens above are the companions which the wor...

Fragments from The Private Cosmos III

You existed in me longer than you ever did beside me. ~ Zara As his image appears, something inside me ignites; the world seems to pause, like moonlight suddenly spilling over the earth, soft and silver, and everything grows still just to witness his rare breath. Few images on this earth are rare enough to spill silver into the soul, and yours is the one that lingers in mine. ~ Zara Loneliness is not empty; it is filled with you. ~ Zara
