TITLE: TO NADDIYAA 
AUTHOR: KAVYA SHARMA 
PUBLISHERS : STORY MIRROR


SYNOPSIS:

After spending years in a mental asylum Naadiyas son who has lived the life of an orphan has now comes to take her home. But what happened all these years that she was separated from her son? How did she land up into the mental asylum? Pick this book up to find out. 



OVERVIEW/ MY OPINION:

I had a really wonderful experience with this book.  Firstly the concept around which it revolves is that of the unspoken feelings and words that Durjoy wanted to speak to her about but failed to do so because of his own personal reasons. The concept behind it was really nice and its executed well.

The writing style was excellent amazing.  
The narration too was done quite well which played a major role in keeping me glued to this book. 
The language used was easy going and lucid yet her words truly tore my heart apart!

I found it quite unlikely of such a young & a debut author to have such a flow in her writing style and words.
Hence it was quite hard to believe that its her debut novel. 

The cover and the title are appropriately chosen  keeping in mind the interest and curiosity of a reader. 

The storyline was beautiful and captivating.

The plot was fresh but it actually turned weak at some point of time.  The reason being that there are a couple of aspects of the story that aren't explained well, firstly I would have liked it of the reason of Naadiyas arrival in the mental asylum was more elaborate, I wasn't statisfied with the way that part of the story was explained. 
Secondly If the story could have  focused a  more on Imman(naadiyas son's) childhood, it would be a whole new different reading experience for me! I felt this aspect of the story left out.
Lastly, If the actual cause of death of certain characters could be mentioned, it would have truly been a plus point for this book. 

The characters were very well developed. I could connect with the protagonist very well. 
I liked how the author has crafted the emotions of each character. 
I clearly don't know if I should love the characters or hate them because I have a love hate relationship with them, well I can't discuss the reasons because for that you need to read the book in order to avoid spoilers and it of course depends on ones own perception. 

This book touches upon some very important social topics such as the topic of abnormality, sexual abuse, etc.

The theme of this book revolves around Love, trust, betrayal, bondings and so on.

Overall, this was a very interesting and an emotional read. Definitely recommended!


MY RATING: 4/5🌟
