Book Review by LITEROMA PUBLISHING SERVICES :: 'A Sip of Coffee' by Satabdi Banerjee

** Thanks to the author for gifting us a review copy of the book. **

** Thanks to our reviewer Sabyasachi Mukherjee for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. **

‘A Sip of Coffee’ is ingrained from subtle thoughts which take a high with every shot of caffeine hit in our mind.  A very strong line in the preface of the book moved me and intrigued me to go in between the covers to sip more in to the mellows that Satabdi had served in the various poems and verses of the book.

Coffee a favorite beverage for many of us has many variants – hot/cold, latte/mixed/black, dark/grey, different blends Ethiopian/Brazilian/Sumatra etc., different blending techniques beaten/roasted/baked. Some classic way some modern technologies. Some suits all moods some are mood specific. Just like the offerings of Satabdi. Some verses touches the chord or emotions which are very classic, some are urban. Some would suit reader while travelling over jet and cabs speeding across, some may be on a lazy winter afternoon at country home. Some might bring in new definitions of known words. Just like some known friend introducing you to a new variant of coffee in your cup.

I thoroughly loved the taste, aroma, ambience that each and every line created and am still cherishing the vividly distinct nature of each writing. This book is going to go a long way with me as an anchor to hold me firmly to some emotions, as a stirrer to bring out some newer meaning to known emotions feelings companionship and so on….

Recommendation to author would be to nurture and bring out more variant of literature like prose, letters, ode apart from poems and verses would have added more richness to the subject.

Overall, would rate the book as 4.5*/5* and looking forward for more such books from Satabdi and Literoma.
