Book Blurb:
In the autumn of 2012, destiny wreaks havoc on two unsuspecting people—Soham and Fiona. Although his devastating past involving his brother still haunted him, Soham had established a promising career for himself in Bangalore. After a difficult childhood, Fiona’s fortunes had finally taken a turn for the better. She had married her beloved and her life was as perfect as she had ever imagined it to be. But when tragedy strikes them yet again, their fundamentally fragile lives threaten to fall apart. Can Fiona and Soham overcome their grief? Will the overwhelming pain destroy their lives? Seasoned with the flavors of exotic Nepalese traditions and set in the picturesque Indian Hill station, Gangtok, the fragile thread of hope explores the themes of spirituality, faith, alcoholism, love and guilt while navigating the complex maze of family relationships. Inspirational and heart-wrenchingly intimate, it urges you to wonder—does hope stand a chance in this travesty called life?
Book Review:
“The Fragile Thread of Hope” by Pankaj Giri is a fiction book. The protagonist of the story is Soham and Fiona. This story revolves around the family and love life of both these characters. Although Soham and Fiona are poles apart from each other but their makes them feel connected to each other. Soham is an engineer working in Bangalore whereas Fiona is a school teacher. Both of them had lost the purpose of their life. Would Soham and Fiona overcome their grief?
The book strongly gives the message “What is lost will never come back”. The story is slow paced. The characters have been developed very well. The language of the story is lucid. The title and cover page if the book is very attractive. The way author has described Nepalese traditions and the beauty of Indian Hill Station Gangtok is appreciated. The description of family relationships in the story has won my heart totally. I would like to recommend this book to my fellow readers.
