This week it was a time for reading. I got around 10-15 novels last time when I was in Delhi. I stocked so many books as I didn’t want to run out of stock like last time. The novels are not available in my town so now onwards I always want to be stocked with them for emergencies. Though I stocked them since December but didn’t read any of them till this week. So this week I managed finishing off two of them. Bittersmooth by Sidney Shieldon and Sold by Patricia McCormick .
When I started with Bittersmooth I thought that is going to be like any of Shieldon’s novel but this one was different. Though it had all the regular punches of coincidences but still it was treated in a different way. Firstly a very clean novel and it lacks the intense shieldon’e bedroom scenes. It portrays the current scenario of the homemaker wives and how they feel once the kids grow up. After reading this even I am scared about the coming time i.e after 15-18 years of marriage. Hope you can guess the story if not this is about a women who after 15 years of the marriage decide to start with her photography career. How-ever the husband didn’t agree with her and she realize that love is missing in their marriage. She meet a wallstreet tycoon and in the last got married with her too. Just wondering that how easy things are in such stories and yes I love happy ending that’s why I am hooked to fiction.
I am happy that I purchased “Sold”. A novel based on the research done on the women of Calcutta’s red light area and girls rescued from the sex trade. The book is quite simple and it describes the way a 13 year old girl saw this world. How the girl was sold for just 1000 rupees and her journey to prostitution. The agony that these prostitution undergo and the way they live. You can check further details here.

Will look forward to more.
Even I have accumulated books from Delhi. I think Delhi is the best place to get books. I always carry my list to that place but no time to read.
Currently I am reading 5 books without any hope to end them !!
I used to be a big fan of Sheldon, when I was in school, and the few months before college... now however, I don't have the patience for it. Still, I'd like to take a shot at Bittersmooth, since you said it's different.
Heard about Sold though, don't remember who told me about that book exactly. That's one book I'm waiting to read as well... that, and The White Tiger.
Enjoy the books, and do recommend more like this. Cheers...
