MY REVIEW

Being an avid reader, I am a person who is ever keen at searching out good books and reading them. So recently, I came across Purba Chakraborty's, Mythological Monologues. This is a book that comprises of 26 dramatic monlogues of some very epic characters from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. 

I was in utter awe while I was going through the book. The various characters of Ahalya, Bharat, Kaikeyi, Urmila and other characters, their inner feelings are so beautifully presented by the author that it sets an indelible impact on the minds of the readers.

The book is tremendously gripping, usage of vocabulary, the content and placing of the ideas everything is just on point. It was quite intriguing to find out all that is there in the book. The book provides unique and fabulous content at your platter and you will for sure get enriching insights about our mythological characters.

I recommend everyone to read it once and I would gladly rate it 5/5.

I come from a small town myself, and like the author, I once carried the same restless dream of moving to a city. Reading these stories, I could almost hear echoes of my own journey – the confusion, the excitement, the way the old world never really leaves you even when you’re chasing a new one.

At times I smiled, at times I just sat quietly with a line long after reading it, and a few stories left me with that sweet ache of remembering where I came from.
