Book Review by #LITEROMA PUBLISHING SERVICES :: "Together Forever to Never" by Satish Goyal

** Thanks to the author for sharing a Kindle copy of the book for review.**

** Thanks to our reviewer Reetwika Banerjee for reviewing the book on behalf of #Literoma. **

"Together Forever to Never" is a short and crisp tell a tale kind story by author Satish Goyal. The catchy title itself speaks a lot about the theme.

The love life of a couple gets impacted by mutual promises and breakups and finally ends with a twist by a heroic entry of second lead. The plot is very filmy and fits well into a commercial Bollywood film. Author uses conversation style in the narrations to keep it like a script which I loved the most. The cover page is also attractive and depicts the storyline well.

My only suggestion is if the word limit could have been slightly increased, the characterizations could have been established better. I second the author in quick storytelling keeping in mind the level of patience of modern readers, but some storylines deserve more time than others. I am sure author will take care of this aspect in his future books and would not let his readers experience an abrupt ending.

Overall I would like to rate the book as a 4.1*/5* read, suitable for young adults.

1.      This is your first published book...what made you compose this one? Ans 1:   I had been writing short stories over the past 10 to 15 years and many of these were published in in-house magazines. Some were also selected   for recognition too. Having travelled the length and breadth of the country, it dawned on me to distil some of my experiences in fact and fiction and create a bouquet of short-stories into a book. I have been a fan of the renowned writer, Sudha Murty and read most of her books and that was certainly an inspiration. 2.      What are your two most favourite short stories from your debut book? Ans 2.   “ The Gift of Love” and “Lost Memories”. Love transcends myriad odds in life and “Gift of Love” is based on a true event of Dharavi, although fictionalised. In “ Lost Memories”, we would like our readers to be sensitive to the growing cases of dementia in society. I have tried to depict the sublime love of a daughter for her father afflicted by su

#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Death Served Cold’ by Sourabh Mukherjee

 ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** ‘Death Served Cold’ by corporate turned author Sourabh Mukherjee brings an insight to the world of dark feminism. It's a continuum of short narratives based on real incidents; and is thus listed under 'Non fiction' category. Women assassins, over the decades, who have committed world's brutalest murders, have found a corner in Sourabh's latest title. With the advent of technology, research has become quite easy these days and the reason of bringing this point in our review is the extensive details provided by author, supporting each narrative and involved characters. Readers would be left chilled to read the brutalities or coldness with which those murders were committed.  Narration style is also quite absorbing. However, the cover page could have been lot better. It does not appeal to us!  We would like to wish Mr. Mukherjee, the author, all the very best for his future writing stints. Read

Rimli Bhattacharya: The Rising Star of Literoma Galaxy

Image
Author: Rimli Bhattacharya Romance is a popular yet a very difficult genre to explore in literature and that's exactly where Rimli Bhattacharya has ventured into with a smashing record over the years. Her first book 'The Crosshairs of Life' received a warm welcome earlier. However, Rimli's recent release 'That Day It Rained' made it to the Literoma Bestsellers at Book Fair 2021 (Kolkata, New Town). Both of Rimli's story books are tied to the same string of dark romance and nuptial abuses on women. It seems Rimli has mastered the genre with her powerful nib.  Most of her storylines bring out tough dilemmas of women when she is subject to extreme social, psychological or physical assaults by her own family members and/or dear ones. 'Running a Solo Marathon' from her debut book narrates how difficult is the life of a single woman / mother, fighting against all odds of life. Similarly, the title story of her second book, 'That Day It Rained' port
