India Was One
by An Indian
…Suddenly, he saw something shiny at the bottom of the abyss. He squinted his eyes to see what it was. He ran back to his binoculars and turned them to see what it was. Sharp barbed wires that separated the two mountains came into focus. He had come as far as he could in his country. But she was standing in another country.
He was in South India and she was in North India…

I really did not know what to expect when I
started reading India Was One, but once I began , several things happened. I was entertained, gained insightful
knowledge of the Indian culture and fell in love with the characters. The opening of this story was absolutely
heart-breaking and begged me to continue on - to find out if Jai and Kaahi
would be reunited after being separated because of their country's civil unrest. The
author's descriptive words really brought depth to this wonderful story. The artwork at the beginning of each chapter
was a beautiful touch as well. The
author also incorporated the use of the Indian dialect which was really a nice
touch.
Overall, this book was well-written that flowed
almost effortlessly. I am extremely grateful
that I was given the opportunity to read and review this book which provided me
with a much better understanding of the Indian culture.
I am at a loss as to what genre this amazing
novel would fall under, but if you like to read a culture enriched,
action-packed, political themed thriller with a smidgen of romance, then this
is a must read!
My rating: 4 out of 5 stars
