Made Of Stardust: A Pursuit of Love, Liberty and Life by Arun Kumar

4.0

My Rating : 4/5

This story is about four different people, Elene, Ramesh, Mithila and Anuj, who are in a dillemma, to which they are seeking answers. Elene is happy with her family and has always been loved my her grandma. Ramesh comes from a lower middle class family, and falls in love with a girl. Mithila is the chief consultant in a steel industry, and is professional in her job. Although she has family issues. And last but not the least, Anuj who is trying to find his inner peace after breaking up with his girlfriend. They are all connected with the horrible 26/11 attack on Mumbai city. And the story is about how their life changes after that.


I read this book in one sitting, I don't remember the last time I did that. I loved how the story connects all characters and how the author gave us a different story for each character, who are seeking answers to their questions. Most questions are answered by themselves while one horrible thing pushes them to pursue it. All characters are very realist and relatable. Writing style was different and vocabulary in this book was simple. Character development was too cliché. Overall idea of connecting different people through one string, that idea was not that bad. Climax was satisfying and hearttouching. Story keeps us hooked enough to want to read in one go.
