I read a sinppet of Jaishrees Misras book "Ancinet Promises" when I was flipping thru the book the book
"Where the rain is born". She came highly recommended by Sabina Zacharias ~~ n ofcourse undoudetly i was hooked!
So this book - "Ancient Promises" has been on my to-read list for ages now! The book revolves around a educated-outside-Kerala, smart young bride getting into a rolling-in-money family ~~ written in a simple straightforward manner thts a joy to read! But unfortunately, I hvnt yet got around to reading the entire book
I hv thou chanced to read two of her other books - "Rani" and "Secrets and Lies". "Rani" is a historical fiction centered around - Rani Lakshmi Bai. I had picked it up with high hopes after a dose of mughal trilogy by Indu Sundaresan. The book started to a good start ~~ but somewhere off lost the steam :-/.
Now onto the other one - "Secrets and Lies" will not fall in one of the "must-read" list. But then not all books need to fall in the list ~~ Its a book I still enjoyed reading. A simple story revolving around friends, teachers, relationships etc.....
A writer whose writing seems as much a joy to read as her stories.. So
"Ancient Promises" it is!
