Truly an epic tale of choices. Kapoor’s writing style is so poetic I was instantly hooked from the first page. Her ability to weave in space and time to reconstruct the history of each character truly left me speechless. The last two hundred pages were so electric and I cannot wait to see what other stories she will create.
