Book Review : Written on the wind

Due to its eye catchy cover and amazing title I picked up this book. The story is set up in 1929 in pre partition era in Lahore. The story revolves around two strong protagonists women Harjeet and Amiya. Both of them are from different backgrounds. Harjeet is married to Gautam and mother of two falls in love with Haider because she is not happy with her husband.

On the other hand Amiya, daughter of a British army officer and a Brahmin girl she faces lots of social problems and also has a troubled married life. She makes friendship with Gautam. Both of them have extra marital affair.

The plot of the story is interesting, heart wrenching and engaging. It is a perfect blend of love, family, politics, society and struggle with lots of twists and turns. The author has amazingly narrated the events like salt satyagraha, sentenced to Bhagat Singh etc, Lahore conspiracy case, civil disobedient movement, partition and so many more.

Language used is simple and lucid. Characters are very strong and well developed by the author. The author has very well penned down each and every emotion of love, loss, anger, lonliness and regret. The flow of the book is well paced.

Overall, an extraordinary read.

Rating - 4.8/5
