A review by saarahnina
Pearls of the Past by Mohanalakshmi Rajakumar
5.0
Brilliant!
This book is the sequel to Love Comes Later, the winner of the 2013 Best Indie Book Award.
Both are definite five star reads: stories of a love struggling to survive in the midst of cultural clashes, troubled histories and uncertainty.
As with Love Comes Later, Mohanalakshmi Rajakumar explores life for a Qatari woman, the cultural expectations that come with it. The sequel follows the lives of Sangita and Abdullah as well as Hind, Abdullah's ex-fiance from Qatar to India. Interestingly, Luluwa's life is also featured- Luluwa being the sister of Abdullah's first wife.
More than anything, I enjoyed the sense of closure this sequel offered. A story complete. I feel that if you read Love Comes Later, you absolutely must read this one. I think you'd want to, anyway.
I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
