BOOK REVIEW: Let Me Go by Shriram Iyer

Shriram Iyer’s new book is about a relationship between two friends. Belonging to opposite gender, it tries to breakaway the taboo, the society has been implementing for many years. Does the book succeed in covering the theme? You will have to read this review to find out.

Anshuman Kale and Indira Kelkar are friends. All it takes to bring them close is a lost school bag, a missed school bus leading to a walk back home, and a few cutlets to beat the after-school hunger. As the now best friends grow up together, there is nothing that can come between their friendship. Or so they think!

Estranged for years, Anshuman, well settled in Australia is looking forward to marrying the love of his life while Indira is waiting to hear back on her euthanasia appeal. A glimpse of their past makes Anshuman to drop everything and return to her friend Indira. Will Anshuman’s soon to be bride accept the relationship? Why Indira appealed for euthanasia?

The plot is constructed in a manner that it brings the best of the characters. It moves forward with an equal amount of past story of both the main characters. The book is not a traditional romance fiction. It is a story about friendship with complexity that is possessed in the mind of an individual. The theme is unique and is touched by displaying the mixture of emotions and brave acts.

There is enough peek into what characters are if one reads the blurb of the book. It only develops further on reading the book. As I dwelled on it by turning pages, I adored the characterization. The writing style is good and authentic.

I recommend this book if you are looking to read something distinctive with a bit heart warmness.

4 out of 5
