THE STORY OF A LONG DISTANCE MARRIAGE by SIDDHESH INAMDAR
"Love is not when two people are alike or when they try to be alike or when they can't bear to be away from each other. Nor is it when they decide to live together or set for themselves common life goals. love is , once you are truly in its grip , a capacity for change. And once you have that figured , everything else will simply fall into place."
Rohan and Ira, two people who have been in love with each other since forever face an extremely unfortunate situation. Ira is leaving for NYC to pursue her passion, but there are unsaid words and unknown reasons. As Rohan tries to fit into a life without Ira, he realizes that they are so far apart, not just because of distance. And maybe, just maybe, it’s Rohan’s fault.
This is a very short and crisp book and I felt like the author wanted to voice his opinion on marriage and used Rohan and Ira to do it. They are two different people, and their lookout for life can be compared to opposite poles. But they love each other. Love, the last thread in their relationship, holding them together.
The strong point of this book is the fact that it isn’t your traditional love story. The author keeps Ira alive on Rohan’s mind because of who she is and what decisions she made to make their life better. There’s is no sexual or romantic phase in the plot whatsoever, but love, so pure and powerful, is evident.
The Story of a Long Distance Marriage is a bittersweet love story, that promises to take you into the world of everyday marriages, far from the fairy tale and into the reality of what marriage is like, up close. This book has impressed me with its measured storytelling and simple writing.
Overall, simple language, Interesting plot, wonderful characters makes it an amazing read.
This story is just a quick, simple and perfect read. It’s a light and interesting read.
Until next time,
The Avid readerπ
