Its such a pleasure reading Preeti Bose's work. She is poetic by heart and the way she weaves the story around her words mesmerises you.
Her latest book 'a face for you' is an office romance between Itika, a strong independent woman and Aryan, a senior collegue at work.
"I see the half-remains
Of lingering softness that was once us
And now, this unfinished business,
This bitter sweet us."
I loved the way she begins each chapter with poetic refrains that have such deep meaning that it makes you pause and mull over it.
The personality of Itika in her story comes live when Preeti Bose writes...
"She felt violated if someone tried to 'figure her out' by checking, cross checking or wanting to know more about her, be it her family or her past. This peeling of the layers of her personality made her feel as if somebody were physically stripping her heart, layer by layer."
'A face for you' is a modern-day relationship of romance and betrayal and giving love a second chance.
Its about discovering one self.
