Book Review: Sister of My Heart - Chitra Banerjee Devakaruni






The story  revolves around Chatterjee Household. Anju and Sudha  though distant cousin but their unbreakable bond can make many sibling jealous. Both lost their father on the same day they were born.  Anju's father was the sole owner of the Chatterjee mansion  and Sudha's father and mother came to lived with them.
One day Sudha gets to know the secret of their father's death from there Pishi ( aunty) It was her Pishi who came to know another secret of Sudha's Father but couldn't tell anyone about it. In the mean time Sudha is burdened with the fact that they have lived on Anju's Father wealth through out their life without even knowing. Sudha understood that Anju's father was tricked somehow. This made their secure bond loosen up.
As they grow up,  they were forced to get married . Though Sudha was in love with a guy name Ashok , she didnt have the guts to elope and defame the chaterjee household  name. Anju fell in love with someone from America who  had a lust for Sudha. Sudha didn't like this at all. Sudha married a guy whom her mother thought suitable for her. A marriage with no love. She makes a compromise just to save her sister Anju's marriage.
With out of sight the two sister grew far apart from each other until  a blow of tragedy makes them realise the value of each other.
With secrets unfolding, what will happen when  Anju get's to know everything? Will the heart still beat as one? 


The book continue  with the story in the second book The Vine of Desire.

My views:

 Cover of the book:Simple and that what makes it look rich. 



Author  Chitra Banerjee have beautifully sculpted out the old Bengal in her book. With bengali words scattered here and there, made the book more classy to read. It unfolds secret every nook and corner which are not even predictable. The story hooked me in every page. Though at time the book will make you feel lonely  but at an instant you will be swept away with  secrets and sisterly love .Filled with emotions and an enchanting woven tale of two sister will make you feel the character.
