#LITEROMA Book Review :: "One Imperfect Family Reunion" by Anubhav Dwivedi

** Thanks to the author for gifting us a Kindle copy of the book for review. ** ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** It needs a near perfect writing skill to pull off the story of an "imperfect" family reunion. Author Mr. Anubhav Dwivedi proved his mettle in this regard and pulled off a great book named ‘One Imperfect Family Reunion’. ‘One Imperfect Family Reunion’ tells the story of Agnihotri family and how each family member was put on the griller by the toughest teacher named "life" after Vishesh and his wife Ahana met with a devastating accident. Lots of drama takes place in the storyline which I am not going to disclose here as part of my review. What touched me most is that how the book brings out a lot about human attributes, how different people respond to crisis and their over journey during a life changing incident.  The swings of different characters in an adverse scenario make this book a class apart. The readers wil

  Thanks to our reviewer Bishal Sahoo for reviewing the book on behalf of #Literoma. Well, I am falling short of words to describe my feelings after finishing Dr. Manishaa's Wish You Could poetry collection. It is originally written by her in Hindi which is translated by Yeshesvvi to English. The footnotes at the bottom of relevant poems, makes it a much easier read for NRIs like us who are not much acquainted with many Indian traditions, rituals or cultures. I enjoyed the book thoroughly and hope to read her next title soon. I will recommend the book in my circle especially those who want to know Indian culture. My rationg - 4*/5*.  Read all #Literoma book reviews at our blog:  https://literomagroup.blogspot.com/

  Thanks to our reviewer Tamal for reviewing the book on behalf of #Literoma. I have been reading and writing her book's reviews since her first book MERE KHAYAL was released. No shame to say, I am literally a fan of her writing now. The way she expresses simplest of emotions with a poetic excellence, talks of her literary elegance. This book too is no exception.  Starting right from topics, expressions, choice of phrases, meters and emotions, this book has all ingredients to make you fall in love with yourself. I will look up to reading her next book soon. Hope the writer grants my wish! Fingers crossed... My rating 4.5*/5*.  Read all #Literoma book reviews at our blog:  https://literomagroup.blogspot.com/

Thanks to our reviewer Prity Saha for reviewing the book on behalf of #Literoma. Book Title: Wish You Could Author: Dr. Manishaa Yadava Format: Paperback & Kindle Mindblowing is the first word that comes to my mind when I started writing my review. I have not read the original Hindi title but after reading this English translation I am literally longing to read the Hindi book now. Congrats to both Manisha and Yeshesvi for the collaborative work. Also, it is worth mentioning the goodness of the book cover by Literoma which first influenced my decision to pick and choose this book for reading.  I will like to rate it 3.8*/5*. Hoping the Hindi original poems will have better feel than the English ones. Read all our book reviews at our blog:  https://literomagroup.blogspot.com/

#Literoma Book Review - 'Wish You Could' by Dr. Manishaa Yadava

  Thanks to our reviewer Soundarya Kumar for reviewing the book on behalf of #Literoma. I am not much into poetry but the first two poems gelled me till the end of the book which is a testimony in itself how heart touching are the poems. Coming to Manishaji's poetic style, choice of words and rhyming sense, it's truly mesmerizing. But equal kudos to the translator, her son, who did a splendid job in retaining the originality of the poems with proper usage of words and footnotes. I will be waiting for her next book for sure. She made such a non poetic person like me fall in love with poetry with her creations. My rating 5*/5*.  Read all our book reviews at our blog:  https://literomagroup.blogspot.com/

Book Title: Wish You Could Author: Dr. Manishaa Yadava Format: Paperback & Kindle Book Title: The title of the book ' Wish You Could ' is very exciting and adorable.
