This week I read Babri’s debt by Dr Kamiksha Narda Sharma.
First a word of appreciation for the publisher “Book Street Publications”. I read another one of their book “To Color The Heavens” some time back and one recurring theme I found was both the books talk about extraordinary journeys of ordinary and relatable people. And the journeys are so well documented that you start feeling as if you know these characters from the books and really feel for them and hope they find peace and success in life. So definitely Book Street is doing something right there.
The cover is simple yet has a charming effect. The title reveals quite a lot about what to expect yet has a tone of mystery.
The story really is about a group of few girls who are all batch mates in a medical college and the author has put in a lot of details and exposure of how things are , in the field of medical science. One of the girls Nancy is the main protagonist and the story really follows her journey and shapes the flow of the book.
Dr Sharma has made a lot of effort to shape her characters and other people who influence their lives. All characters seem relatable and their struggles very realistic. The communal tensions and how orthodox people behave across religions is recorded quite realistically. How these communal tensions impact the protagonists form the crux of the book
On the flip side, Certain situations and characters play very expected in the story. Certain characters when introduced you immediately know their entire character arc right to their final situation. I feel a certain novelty could have been introduced to make them unique.
That said, the book has no major faults. It’s not an easy breezy read because of the theme of the book which is quite intense. But definitely makes an excellent read during times when you want to introspect or want to spend a few hours with yourself.
All in all I would call this an excellent read . I would give it a 4.5/5 stars rating
Book is available on Amazon
