Title - Ripples of Eternal Love
Author - Pravin Pandey
Genre - Fiction
Publisher - 24by7Publishing
A simple and slow-paced novel about
nature and the river Swarnrekha and the people like fishermen. This is one of
its kind novels. I was bemused to find that the author has given too much focus
on the river than the characters that it affects. I really enjoyed this novel,
though it started a bit slow, for one strong reason that I too love sitting
around the rivers and sea.
The story is about a boy and his friendship with Dina Ram, a
fisherman. The story is set into a village where the boy whiles away his time
by sitting around the river and also observes the river as it flows silently.
But the boy has a very little knowledge about the river. Soon he builds good
understanding with that fisherman and he gets to hear a lot of incidents that
happen in and around the river.
In the suspense is Malti, Dina Ram’s daughter. The boy is dazed by
her brilliance and talent and academic capabilities but he has never seen and
met her. Hence, he develops feelings for her and longs to see her at any cost.
But long before his plan to see her materializes; a deadly storm grips the
village. What happens after that? Will he be able to see her and Dina Ram? Will
the boy be able to go to the river once again? A lot of questions formed in my
mind or anyone who would like to read this book. Pick up the book on Kindle (preferably)
to know your answers. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.
Overall, writing and narration is lucid but the pace of the novel is
bit slower and at times I found a few instances repetitive. But despite all
pitfalls, the novel is powerful with concurrent themes like love, loss, and
redemption. It is a bright novel for nature lovers and the writing caliber of
the author is remarkable.
