Book Review by LITEROMA PUBLISHING SERVICES :: "WITNESSED BY THE HILLS" by REECHA GOYAL


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

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

Genrally I do not enjoy reading eBooks, not because of any low quality premonition but because of the inconvenience of LED interface. I read books before going to sleep and the glow of the LED disturbs my dizziness whereas the smell of paperbacks makes the experience more relaxing for me. But this Kindle novel by Reecha is truly an exception. All my day's weariness vanished at the free flowing narration style of the author. It injected a feel good feeling to my soul whenever I spent time with it.

The catchy title of the eBook "WITNESSED BY THE HILLS" did the magic for me in the beginning and then the contents hidden inside carried the intoxiation created by the title. Storytelling is extremely simplistic written using easy English words. It is a romantic novel with roller coasted episodes brushing Rhea and her love interest Anay's lives. I could faintly find a shadow of Reecha in her protagonist Rhea.

Only aspect which did not appeal me much is the book cover. It might have been more appealing matching the standard of her writing. But I will still give it a 5* rating only because of the writing style of Reecha. I find a bestselling author in the making. I will look forward to read more of her books in future. 

Overall Literoma rates it as 5*/5* and recommends for a relaxing read.

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
