When you read this book, there is something distinctive you come across that separate Anubhav from his era and genera of fiction and romance writers- Language. Eloquent language separates and makes this book miles ahead in terms of representation. I was amazed flabbergasted and couldn’t keep my excitement while reading “Flowers of Sapphire”. The plot is well contrived and beautifully illustrated in words I felt I was on the same island while reading this book. The description of island is surreal well written. This story of lost love is though an ordeal but not depressing writer managed it with humor pain and beautiful narration. The characters kafka sevak misha vivah and mira have been exceptionally conceptualized though each and every one of them is pain ridden yet they all conspired together for a great cause. The ordeal that the characters faced make this book worth reading and the slow story buildup is eloquent. Vivah’s character reminded me of no matter how broken you are you can get back to life and rediscover yourself. while sevak’s supple characterization and the depth in his conversation will leave and everlasting impact. Kafka’s version of love and pain is well stoic yet well-presented and those blue flowers are exceptionally described his idea of pain and love fascinated me. This book in particular for people who had been in love, who lost someone and who intend to be in love someday. Anubhav style of story telling breaks the fallacy that book of lost love can not be entertaining or interesting. The subtle details make this book a delight to read. I myself have travelled to Andamans and felt I was sitting there and reading a book at some resort. Anubhav has places to go and delight us with his future endeavors. His description of violin almond tree and subtle details will get hold of you. I would certainly like to write more of the story but that would have been a spoiler. Read this one book and you won’t regret.
