“Did you try love?” Kanchana
Banerjee’s novel “A Forgotten affair” brings this question to the fore so beautifully
and so enigmatically. Isn’t this trial, the very basis of leading a happy life?
Trying love than anything else and how that becomes the anchor of your life!
The pivot to which you can hold upon when all is gone.
“Sometimes…you need to
forget everything to recognize what matters most”, quotes the author.
I really enjoyed reading
this book, the setting based in my beloved city Gurgaon and it’s a woman centric
story of finding oneself. I liked the end very much which states the choice of
a woman and really respect the writer for that ending than having a fairy tale
ending of uniting with love. This book, though based on marriage and love
offers more than that. There were moments of reflection, self discovery and
the purpose of one’s being. Also how it highlights the narcissism of a man and
dynamics of marriage. Loved the subtle, poetic scenes weaved beautifully and
how it highlights the beauty of rain, flowers and simple precious things. Keep
shining Kanchana and I look forward to reading your work more.
