It was, properly speaking, rather a cottage than a house - a tiny cottage of one story, with three windows, looking extraordinarily like a little old hunchback woman with a cap on. I HAVE seen a great many houses in my time, little and big, new and old, built of stone and of wood, but of one house I have kept a very vivid memory. The flow of language is smooth and is easy to. The narrative style makes the conversation realistic and interesting to read. Every chapter leads one to do some thinking and encourages to take some action against the injustice happening around all of us. The description and the revelation of emotions are a true beauty of the book. The language of the book is simple and clear. The books throws spotlight on humour, love, adventure, disappointment, arrogance, dejection, anger, sympathy, surprise, fear and many emotions in every story. The entire meaning of marriage is overlooked in the facade of glitz and glamour. The title story Wedding Trousseau highlights the ubiquitous relationship that almost every arrange marriage in India faces, yet everyone is ignorant towards it or may be choose to BE ignorant towards it considering that is how it is suppose to be. It is all a part of one’s psyche and relationship with others and society. The book contains stories based on our everyday lives and all of us can easily relate with the point that the author has come up with. Overall the cover is perfect and soothes one’s eyes. The rare image is also very apt and connected inside. The various sizes of the building reveal that diversity of humans and their perceptions that exist in our society. The green leaves on the cover page is again inspired from one of the stories inside.
The title of the book is one of the story in the book and the grounds on which the story focuses is something that we all need to look around ourselves and identify. The subtle pink cover of the book is simple and apt with the content of the book. Thank you Geetika for liking the book and for this review!.
