ReplyDeleteOnce again Preeti Shenoy has managed to surprise me. And How! Usually authors tend to follow the same pattern of thoughts and plot for all their books but this is where Preeti stands apart from the rest.
ReplyDeleteTea for two and a piece of cake is very different from not only her earlier works but also from the other books in the market. As she had done with her previous book, Preeti dares to go off the beaten track once again, this time to explore different facets of human relationships, be it love or friendship.
Simply yet eloquently written, the story flows smoothly, but at a very fast pace. It is a gripping tale, and you really dont want to put the book down till you reach the end. But what really sets it apart is the way she has handled and described the intense emotional journey of the protagonists. As you read on, you realize the fragility and complexity of human relationships and that sometimes relationships just don't fall into the norms and regulations prescribed by our society- and it really does not matter that they don't !
Tea for two is not your regular love story about Love lost and found. This is a very bold and unconventional book; a book that explores the fabric of human relationships and forces you to question your very beliefs and perceptions about them.
Definitely worth a read !
I received this book today afternoon and just finished reading it.
ReplyDeleteThe book is one of those rare books where story is not just a story written from author's perspective,but a book where each line is true to character..I have always believed that being true to yourself is most important thing in life and writing a book true to its character is most difficult thing in book writing
I received my book around 12 which was my lunch time and started reading it after lunch and to my surprise there was no sleep in my eyes which I usually have after lunch.. I was into the world of "Nisha" the main character and I was loving each line, each character..
I always believed that relationship is the most complex things in this world and when it comes to marriage it always becomes more complex. You do not know how some small issues keep getting bigger and the whole relationship gets strained..But the book depicts this thing in a beautiful manner and with sophistication. The small details which turns the marriage life into a troubled relationship is beautifully depicted.
I have read lot many books in last few years and it amazes me the way this story touches my heart.It almost feels like a candle of compassion,pain, happiness burning in my heart and I am just standing beside the lead characters of the novel and simply wishing them happiness for their life . Thanks for giving this experience.. because I rarely get such experiences and today I got one of those through this book...
