REVIEW: 

Les Cicatrices by Rathnakumar Raghunath is a gorgeous collection of French poetry that is all about giving yourself a reality check every once in a while, sadness, hope and happiness. What takes it to the next level and makes it even better is the multi-talented writer’s French, which as a language is in itself extremely pleasing and poetic, and Rathnakumar’s knowledge of it takes it further ahead, making it even more gorgeous. His writing that is straight from the heart is very touching, comforting and soothing. The stunning cover designed by Reshma Dhanraj deserves a mention and a huge round of applause for the unique purple and the intricate and stunning illustrations. Overall, if you know even some amount of French, give this lovely collection a go for it is simple, pure and simply stunning.

REVIEW: 

Amit Nangia is another Srishti author whose books are popular, but I had never read them. When You Are My Love Forever was out, I thought it was finally time to give it a go. A story that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time, this book narrates the beautiful story of Neha and Tarun, two broken people who find hope in each other.

Author Amit Nangia’s writing is easy and sweet. It is not surprise that his books are quite popular because the simple writing, relatable characters and comforting storytelling are bound to establish a connect with readers, making it accessible for a wider audience, especially in India. The only negative about the writing was the sudden and unnecessary shift between past and present tense in the narration.

Set in Shimla, You Are My Love Forever explores a lot more than just human relationships. It takes the reader on a nostalgic trip to college days, exploring the beautiful Shimla and most importantly, gives a sad yet real glimpse into a difficult childhood. Overall, this book is a good one time read.
