A Little Before Sunset : A Saga of Love Amidst the Grey Shades of Reality

-



📗BOOK: A Little Before Sunset
📗AUTHOR: Suman Mukherjee
📗GENRE: Contemporary Romance Fiction 

📝RATING:
⚡Storyline- 4/5
⚡Literature- 4/5

📖PLOT: 

Bhaskar Bhattacharya curses the day he came into the Earth as he was born in an emotionally toxic family who believed in arguing and vitiating the familial environment rather than create a happy space at home.

It did not help Bhaskar's mental disposition when his first love dumped him but this incident changed the course of Bhaskar's trajectory towards a positive spike.

The happenstance entry of Kavita Chatterjee in his life ushered in the much needed sunshine which was otherwise clouded with misery.

However a deadly blow is waiting to eclipse the happiness that Bhaskar was finally starting to enjoying.

✒VERDICT 

🥇Pros:

1) I am simply amazed at the quality of storyline that the author is capable of belting out one after the other. After thoroughly enjoying his works in thrillers like The N.G Code and The Lankan Link, I expected this book to be just another love story. 

Here again, the author pleasantly surprised me with his matured characters and the grey realities of life which generally gets hidden in mushy romance.

2) I was enamoured with the character of Mithilesh who silently took care of Bhaskar like an elder brother and guided him like a true mentor. Kudos to the author for crafting this character with such grace and maturity that as a reader I felt that every human being needs a 'Mithilesh' to coax us in the right direction in life. 

3) One of the best aspects which I have enjoyed about this author is his literature which he never sacrificed at the altar of creating pace in the story. The writing style was designed with simplicity and a touch of elegance which I thoroughly admire.

Nothing gives more pleasure than reading a good storyline with sublime literature. 

🎭I spotted some spelling errors in hardly 3 places which I can turn a blind eye because of the quality of storyline.

Overall, a highly recommend read for the audience who wants to read a matured and realistic story.

Book Review - Love is a Verb by Pramod Rajput

  Love is a Verb encompasses the trials and tribulation of maintaining a relationship after you have enjoyed your honeymoon period.  🕒This story is set in the 1960s era when being in love was tougher than falling in love. 🕓Manav is your quintessentially disciplined boy who is serious about his career and has his fair share of challenges. 🕝Enter Madhu, who is like a breath of fresh air and brought some colours to the life of Manav. 🥇I commend the author for crafting a realistic image of a relationship which is far from a rosy picture. The author has built a concrete plot justifying his title that Love is indeed a Verb which signifies physical or mental action. Love is more than the butterflies in the stomach or the abstract feeling of attraction. 🥇Any reader would relate to the challenges faced by Manav and Madhu who were navigating through long distance relationship and familial expectations.  🥇I also liked the subtle cultural background induced by the author in thi...
