Have
you ever abused your key capabilities or manipulated people by misusing it? Can
you own the consequences it would have resulted into?
This
was the first thought that crossed my mind after I finished the reading it…and
it stayed for some time. Such is the impact of ‘The Woman Who Saw The Future’ (TWWSTF)
authored by Amit Sharma.
I guess
that’s the thing about good (fiction) stories, it get you back to real life but
not empty handed. You return with a thought in head that inspires you to be
good, do good.
TWWSTF
is an interesting tale of Sapna Vaid who suddenly wakes up with a superpower to
see death in her dreams. By choosing to do a television show with a focus of saving
thousands of life across the world, she becomes a Goddess for all. However,
when she abuses her powers for personal gain, her powers gradually leaves her
bringing her back to the normal self. But she isn’t where she had begun – the innocent
& kind girl. Refusing to accept the truth and letting go of her power and ‘Goddess’
status.
The
blurb mentions the beginning and the end of the story, it is the transformation
of the protagonist is what the story is all about. It’s a transformation from
how the protagonist goes from being good to bad to worse – and can we say
antagonist? You may not identify with Sapna, but you can certainly understand
her despair, her foibles and the why’s of her actions; the decisions she takes,
good or bad, her worries, misery happiness, you can feel it.
Even
when I was half way through the book I knew the headline would be - very well
researched fiction. I wanted to read more of it. Though I was curious to see
how it all ends, I didn’t wanted it stop reading this book. The research the
author has done on the events that took place across the world is interesting. Though
there are moments, while mentioning the calamities which could have seemed
monotonous. The crisp editing has saved it
Flow
is good and the characters are well-defined. Other characters are given individual
identity even with their thought process, way of taking, etc.
A definite
read!
My takeaway: We all have at least one special ability, which is
very powerful and it can make or break us. What we want it to do for us, is
what we have to decide.
My rating: 4 out of 5
I received a review copy of the book
from Writers Melon
in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
