My Thoughts:

The plot of this book is inspired from true events and when one reads the book it is really disturbing to see one go through so much pain and torture. After reading this book I would say that one really needs to think multiple times before taking any decisions and think hundred times before trusting any stranger. Times have changed and we cannot trust anyone this is well depicted in this book.

The language is simple and lucid and the readers will have no difficulty while reading this book.

The book cover is simple but could have been better. The title of the book is apt to the story.

The characters are well developed  and while reading the book the readers can actually feel what the character is going through and the mentality of the other characters too can be seen. This all makes the character realistic.

The writing style of the author is also excellent and will take the readers on a journey of Abhaya. The readers will actually feel the pain that she had to suffer. The book kept me glued till the end.

Overall, I liked the book and would surely recommend it to all.

My Rating: 5/5

This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people. People are constantly making fun of her calling her a ‘darkie’ and some even call her ‘ugly’. This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair. Her brother Karthi, is always there by her side trying to save her; and protect her from these kinds of people. However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
