BOOK REVIEW: Such is Her Life by Reecha Agarwal Goyal

BOOK REVIEW: Such is Her Life by Reecha Agarwal Goyal

Posted June 23, 2018 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books, Non-Fiction / 0 Comments

Such is Her Life is the debut work of writer Reecha Goyal published earlier this year. It is a heartwarming collection of thoughts. These thoughts are based mostly on reality and presented to us as a reader in the form of musings. It is as clear and raw as if I, the reader is picking on her brain. Expressed over 184 pages long, the whole concept works well as it contains around 150 musings. The common theme of these musings is the role a woman plays in lives of everyone as a mother, daughter, sister, wife, daughter-in-law, but societal norms do not appreciate all the effort to the life giver herself. I know that the western world has accepted or […]

BOOK REVIEW: Beekeeping for Beginners by Laurie R. King

BOOK REVIEW: Beekeeping for Beginners by Laurie R. King

Posted June 12, 2018 by @amanhimself in Books, Reviews / 10 Comments

Pages: 77, Kindle Edition Published: 2011, Random House I am big fan of Conan Doyle’s writings that include Sherlock Holmes and this year I realised I should try adaptions of same character written by other authors. After reading Martin Greenberg’s anthologies on Holmes’ Christmas Stories I came across Laurie R. Kings Mary Russell series. Mary Russell is a young girl that Holmes after retiring from being a Private Detective and relocating him in Sussex, takes an apprentice of. This short novella can be called the origin of this new series of adventure. The plot is interesting but the adventure Sherlock Holmes pick up at the age of 54 to save his wealthy orphaned protégée is bit off for me in […]

Subtitled as a Japanese story, Richard Brautigan’s Sombrero Fallout is my second reading of the author’s work. It is a unique story, a peculiar one too, with themes that might seem bizarre at first but are actually brought to clarity as the plot moves forward
