Posted this one on goodreads, now adding up here too!
I, in-fact loved the plot so much that, I ended up reading in a very quick time, few hours to be precise. The book is a translation from a Marathi version, so I am assuming, some of the original charm might be lost in the process of translation.
Book deals with the story of a brother-sister residing in the same house and ending up falling in love with the same guy, who takes accommodation in their home as a paying guest.
First half deals with the brothers emotions, feelings which he holds towards this guy who comes as a paying guest.
Second half deals with the sister narrating her good/bad experiences, her feelings some of which takes form as notes in a diary.
Worth a read, since, it gets you, to start thinking on loads of stuffs.
- How it feels to be in such a deep relationship when they are not earning (still studying)
- What are the things one has to deal when in same sex relationships,( in places where its still not accepted or mainstream. )
- What a double blow it will be for the parents (or may not be too) to know about their son being gay and daughter too in love with the same person.
- How would it be for the parents, to see all of this when their kids are of that tender age.
Rating 3.5 / 5
Cheers,
PS - I read this book only because, it was mentioned as a good read (by an Indian author). I have nothing to do or relate with anything that is written in the book.
