My honest Review
I received a free copy of this book
directly from author for reviewing her book.
Panorama – as the name suggests gives
us a wide view of people around us. Each story, when you read touches a cord in
you, as each story has a hint of reality.
Each story explores a relationship in
various situations, like how a mother struggles to fulfill her daughter’s
desire to have chapatti with curry, whereas a politician mother has plans for
her journalist daughter who is going to expose her wrongdoings, a child’s
memory of their pet dog, a father’s typical reactions on seeing his daughter
unwell, a story of two friends who meet after a long time and catch up with
their lives, and so many stories which are day-to-day happenings around us.
These stories though fictional, but
when you read them you feel their pain, their joy, their suffering… like while I
was reading Second Tsunami, the end left me gasped and shocked.
I would say Panorama is about
various emotions that one experiences at some or other point of life. Inspite
of being a debutant author, Shilpi has done a good job. The stories, the use of
simple language, the way she has conquered human emotions are awesome.
Nice work Shilpi…Loved the cover
picture of the book.
