Book Review-‘A Wild Rose: Love Blossoms Until the Thorns Prick’ by Uzma Jafri
“AN
INTERESTING AND WELL EXPRESSIVE STORY ABOUT BETRAYAL, LOVE, REVENGE AND
SACRIFICE … THIS IS A NOVEL BY UZMA JAFRI …”
The story
moves around Ritu Anand and her life that has been blemished by a brutal
divorce and a counterfeit commitment, that pushes her into her own cocoon of
thoughts, All this takes a toll on her
life and makes her go away from love and commitment. She used to be a
successful news anchor with one of the well known and established agency in her
past but the tragedy in her life takes it all away from her. She joins DAG
after 2 years of isolation which works as whiffs of fresh air in her life.
There she meets Anshuman Sinha, with the first look itself she goes crazy for
him. As the days pass in DAG at a relaxed speed so do Ritu and Ashuman start
getting close to each other. Eventually all this ends up in a serious
relationship. This helps Ritu to overcome her past, although her best friend
Sumbul doesn't approves of it and keeps warning her about Anshuman. To which
Ritu turns her deaf ears as she is completely blind in Anshuman's love. But
there is more to Anshuman than which is shown. The detailed description of
Ritu’s past painful memories and friendship between Ritu and Sumbul is
something that does play on your emotions in the story. Anshuman’s character
creates inquisitiveness in the minds of the reader while Ritu is all charm.
Sumbul’s careful, alert and aware nature is also something which can't be
ignored. The shayari mentioned in the book goes hand in hand with the concept
of the story. The story leaves an impact on the readers mind in the end. The
reader wonders if it will be possible for Ritu to see the hidden or real side
of Anshuman or will it be too late to realise his undiscovered side. Will her
love for him keep their relationship going? To unfold the same you need to read
this book.
Now my Positive viewpoints:
The
concept is good, the twist and turn in the story is enthralling. The authoress
has narrated the story well as it keep readers look forward to what will be
next.
Some suggestive points:
Overall
the book is really good and very well expressed. The only drawback what I feel
is at some places the character of Ritu has been portrayed to be very weak,
especially when, it is mentioned that she is today’s working independent girl.
Some places she is seen so helpless that she can’t even take a stand of her
own. (Just an opinion, others might not agree with me.)
Final
words:
Overall if asked I would
say...this is a good work done by Authoress… (Uzma Jafri) I would give 2.5
stars to this book.
