Book Review by #LITEROMA PUBLISHING SERVICES :: "Rukhsaar" by Devi Raghuvanshi

** Thanks to the author for sharing a review copy of the book.** ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of #Literoma. ** Format: Paperback/Kindle Edition Genre: Fiction Pages: 121 The captivating cover page with a jazzy title was successful in creating the first excitement in me to glance through the pages inside. The cover image titled in the name of a lady clearly gives me the imagery about the overall plot - a storyline with a lady protagonist. The mysterious vintage tinge of the cover aroused a pich of curiosity in me, making me guess a mystery behind the lady's existence. No, it's not a horror or paranormal book, Rukhsaar is a very realistic character and can be easily found in and around us. But her decisions in life are not so common where this book differentiates from others. The story flows smoothly till she finds her love and decides to settle with him. How they they get married, have children etc cover the initial chapters which in fact...

Book Review by #LITEROMA: ‘Rukhsaar - The Women of Substance’ by Devi Raghuvanshi

** Thanks to author for sharing a review copy of the book. ** ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of #Literoma. ** ‘Rukhsaar - The Women of Substance’ by Devi Raghuvanshi being the eleventh novel by the author, I had a rather mixed review while reading the book. Perhaps I was expecting more complex storyline and diverse characterizations than what is offered between the covers. The title of the book is good and the book cover beautifully carries the feel of the theme. Good job done Literoma. It’s a short novel of 100 odd pages so you can have a quick read of the book. The central plot reflects deep rooted societal realism and there is a vivid description of the lady Rukhsaar and the fights she had to embrace with time. The unconventional relationship of Rukhsaar and Sameer offers a deep impact on the readers. The art of characterization is good. The characters are quite real and still exist in some parts of India. The character of Rukhsaar, her bold and ...

Book Review by #LITEROMA: ‘Rukhsaar - The Women of Substance’ by Devi Raghuvanshi

** Thanks to author for sharing a review copy of the book. ** ** Thanks to our reviewer S Bando for reviewing the book on behalf of #Literoma. ** ‘Rukhsaar - The Women of Substance’ is the eleventh book written by a seasoned novelist Mr. Devi Raghuvanshi. All the characters including protagonists Rukhsaar and Sameer looked very authentic. Aryan's character has been well conceptualized. The story telling is smooth – the reader can pick up this novel and complete it during one long cab ride. Raghu has done a fairly good job in ensuring the story gets over before the readers gets bored. However, the story has quite a few opportunities for improvement. The time spent to build the climax and the time spent to bring the story to an end looked a little disproportionate – the end was quite abrupt. It was more of a sudden jerk than of a twist. But I must say, the overall plot sounds very cinematic. The eye catching cover adds a special touch to the deep thoughts of the author prese...

Book Review by #LITEROMA: ‘Rukhsaar - A Women of Substance’ by Devi Raghuvanshi

** Thanks to author for sharing a review copy of the book. ** ** Thanks to our reviewer Tee Kay for reviewing the book on behalf of #Literoma. ** First of all, a big thanks to Literoma and Author for gifting a review copy of the book. ‘Rukhsaar - A Women of Substance’ by Devi Raghuvanshi is a noteworthy effort by ‘Literoma Publishing Services’. The cover looks really fascinating which made me pick the book for review. It's equally commendable that as a publishing community, Literoma did a fantastic job by encouraging a novella written in simple Indian English to be taken to international publication. Even though Novels and short stories always have familiarity amongst the reader fraternity, novella has not much been explored as a genre in old Indian spectrum. We hope this book acts as one of the initial steps in building this much needed genre. Coming to the contents, ‘Rukhsaar - A Women of Substance’ is the story of a young lady named Rukhsaar – starting from how her life b...

Book Review by #LITEROMA PUBLISHING SERVICES :: "Rukhsaar" by Devi Raghuvanshi

** Thanks to the author for sharing a review copy of the book.** ** Thanks to our reviewer Satabdi Mukherjee for reviewing the book on behalf of #Literoma. ** Right from the cover image, everything about this book captures one's imagination. The author writes in a straightforward tone, telling a story of a woman, her dreams and her sacrifices and her mysterious last days. The narrative never loses steam - you turn page after page wanting to know more. The book deals with various themes, politics, corruption, religion, love, marriage, and business. Mr. Raghuvanshi has done his homework well and his thorough research is apparent from the well-fleshed out characters. I went through the book in a single night and it felt like the story would translate into a good film! My rating of the book is 4*/5*.

Book Review by #LITEROMA PUBLISHING SERVICES :: 'Staring at the Sky' by Dr. Satyanarayan Mishra

** Thanks to the author for gifting us a review copy of the book. ** ** Thanks to our reviewer S Bando for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** 'Staring at the Sky' is a collection of 26 poems by veteran Odia poet Dr. Satyanarayan Mishra. Published in Paperback and Kindle by Literoma. He has knitted the words so beautifully that every poem has been successful in creating an everlasting impact on my mind. The cover too is captivating, very aptly fitting with the theme of the book. Book layout designing and paper quality give it an international look and feel. Coming to my comments about the poems, I liked majority of the poems, especially the ones based on love and relationships. Special mention for - If there were some luck, Worn-out Stone, Dark and When Time Runs Out For You. It seemed from the poems that the poet might have gone through stressful days in his life which had brought out such emotional outbursts through his poems. Everyone of us goes though diffic...

Book Review by #LITEROMA PUBLISHING SERVICES :: 'Raindrops' by Shubhramita Chakraborty

** Thanks to the author for gifting us a review copy of the book. ** ** Thanks to our reviewer S Bando for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** 'Raindrops' by debutante Indian poet Shubhramita Chakraborty has created an enchanting impact on my mind while I glanced through some of the poems featured in the book for first time. To name a few are Krishna, The Escape (from The White Desert series) and The Burnt Bread (from The Coconut Beach series) of which the last one touched me so much that I decided to read the entire book of 50 poems at one shot during my ensuing leisure trip. And I could not stop myself from doing so. I still remember to finish reading every bit of the book in just a three hour flight to my home city. I must appreciate the subtleness captured in each of her poems which truly reflects Shubhramita's depth of feelings and strong emotions. I will wish her all the best for her next book and I am sure she will not keep her readers waiting for lon...
