The Anatomy Of Choice authored by Harshali Singh and
published by Readomania is a rewarding read. One of the rare pieces when I begin
my review with my verdict. It’s been ages since I have read something as captivating
as this.
The plot revolves around Bhavya (Bee) and her perturbation
and huff. It is about the choices she makes and how difficult she finds it difficult
to accept the resultant consequences. In the process, she ends up ruffling her
family members, her live-in partner and her ownself. The story also touches
upon the goods and evils that resides parallelly within us; it reflects how
sometimes we win over our demons while other times the evil gets better of us.
Not everyone would be able to relate with the protagonist,
(I didn’t) but the smooth narration makes it easier to understand why is she
doing what she is.
The book narrates not one but two stories one that
of Bee and the other of Noorie – a courtesan of 16th century. Noorie’s
journal talks about her longing for love and the sacrifices she made to be with
her love. It helps Bee understand another perspective and thereby realize what
path she should take.
The Anatomy Of Choice is one of the best writings I
have come across in a long time. Read this book to know how simple as well as
sensitive matters can be narrated fluidly. Also, special mention to the titles
of every chapter, which is well researched; it gives you a sneak-peak of what
you can expect in the chapter ahead.
This is second of the Haveli series and I have
already bought the first book and look forward to reading soon.
My ratings: 4.5 out of 5.
I received a review copy of the book from Writers Melon in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
