“Trisha” by debutante author Swagnikaa Roy,
a story of a woman, her ups and downs, and her life will finally help us in
getting an inaugural review for our blog. Trisha answers all the questions
related to the what, who, how and when of woman’s life.
On the back cover- Life is a journey and no matter how beautiful the destination is; what counts at the end is the memory of that long journey one has traversed. A vital part of this journey is decided by those people who allow us to metamorphose into a person we become. Trisha is the story of a young girl who loved to live her life on her own terms and conditions. She was ambitious and goal oriented girl but away from the emotion called love until destiny finally brings love to her doorstep. Love strikes each human being but what do we call those who fall for two people at the same time? A two-timer, cheater, fake? This is probably that what you can call Arnab whom Trisha met under some bizarre circumstances and fell for instantly. Trisha risks her all just to be married to the love of her life, but her life is reduced to a sham when instead of a proposal her beau hands over a card to her- his wedding invitation. With a self-effacing self, she questions why her destiny is so twisted. Neither is she a keep nor a wife, neither is she satisfied, nor she is angry. She feels her life dangling in between all extremities. Will Trisha emerge victorious after life punched her in the face? Is this the end of the road or just a new beginning? Unfold the pages of Trisha’s life and experiences on her journey as she moves from the realm of fantasy love, betrayal and deception.
The story starts with Trisha’s parents fixing a guy for her marriage and the dilemma she goes through throughout the process. The feelings of a girl when her would be in-laws come to see her and treat her as an object. According to me, the Introduction of the characters, at every point of the book catches the reader’s interest at every point of the book. The ups and downs of Trisha (the main protagonist’s) life have been very well portrayed by the author.
Any girl who has suffered a lot owing to
her love is very much relatable to the character the author wants to portray
making the book very eye grabbing. Narrative style statements are something
that are very much in trend right now and the writer has done full justice to
the novel by writing it in the style.
The writing style, as compared to a
debutante work was very simple but I felt that it was a bit immature at some
points of the story. The scenes were well written but a few scenes could’ve
been expressed in a far better way. A few scenes couldn’t keep the reader
interested.
Any reader hailing from Kolkata can very
well relate to the places and situations written or rather described in the
book. I must compliment the writer for visualising the characters so well.
The
story having a perfect flow was disturbed a few times due to some far stretched
scenes. The end was unexpected which I am sure will leave every reader with a
smile. Wishing the author luck for many new ventures to come, I would rate it a
3 out of 5.
PS- This, being the first review of Timid Fingers professionally, pardon us for any mistakes throughout the review. J
