Book Name: Princess
Author : Jean Sasson
A true story which appears to be fiction, as it seems too tough and harsh for reality. A great effort of a Saudi Arabia Princess, to bring out the story of the women of her land. A land where all rules are imposed on the fairer sex and where the fairer sex is by default the weaker and deprived sex. Deprived not of the material wealth but of freedom. An effort to reveal the condition becomes truely realistic, when the family of the highest authority on the land is demoralized and vexed due to lack of freedom. The binding for the females to cover their face appears to be a brutal assault on one's identity, however, this seems menial when the female gets punished even if she is the victim of a Rape.
The story dominates your thought process for a significant time after the reading is accomplished. Additionally, it ignites the human within you to feel for the victims. The plot traverses along the lines where there is all dullness, hope is a distant dream. Although, being written on a negative note the book provides the reader with a positive message, that whatever you are and wherever you are, you are always better than alot.
A must read!!

BOOK NAME: Everything happens for a reason
Book Name: Everything Happens for a Reason
Author: Kavita Daswani
The book is a work of fiction circling around an Indian Girl who hails from a mediocre family and has three female siblings, the narrator being the youngest. The family finds itself in immense grief as none of the elder sisters could be married in-time as per the Indian Traditions and the marriage of the narrator is arranged. She then lands in United States, the native of her Husband. The job she finds there apparently leads her to become an entertainment correspondent for a Hollywood Journal. The readers who find pleasure in reading a story may find it good. However, if you are looking for some thought provoking material, it is missing. Your expectations might reach an acme when you get a glimpse of the title and the cover, but the book is nothing beyond average. The plot circles around how the narrator hides things from her in-laws to continue in her job and showcases ordinary events like her squabble with her sister-in-law. The story might make you smile at times, but it is hard to think over it, after the reading is accomplished.
An Average.
