Book Review #54 : Love after Marriage: Bhagya Chandra

PC: Amazon

Synopsis:
Compassionate and deeply emotional, ‘Love after Marriage’ is a contemporary love story about Deepak and Roshni, a young couple flung together in a traditional arranged marriage. The story authenticates the concept of an arranged marriage, which has prevailed in India for several hundred years. It centers on the conviction that husband and wife, strangers at the time of marriage, can develop a stronger love if they are honest and committed to each other.

In Love after Marriage, Deepak and Roshni embark on the timeless journey of marriage, only to discover that it’s not quite as simple as they expected. What follows is an exploration of understanding and compromise, weaving a tapestry of love and affection that lasts longer and grows stronger over time.

My Take:

The synopsis made me pick the book. The plot was interesting. But the execution is a little weak. The story was dragged a lot I felt with unnecessary explanations and repetitive dialogues. The female lead, Roshni I felt was a big let down. Too much Miss Goodie and egoistic. There is a thin line between Self Respect and Ego, the author seem to have crossed the line.

I couldn't phantom why she was not ready to forgive and move on. She was being unreasonable and very selfish. Agreed that Deepak had  made some mistakes by being vocal at the wrong time, but then even she was unnecessarily dramatist. Either she should forgive or leave, here she was trying to be great/ perfect.

The story could have been short and crisp, but thanks to too much detailing it dragged. Skip a few pages and then too you would have not missed much. The author could have handled the story line better. 

Read if you like reading Indian authors and love stories.
