Do you ever feel that when you visit a museum or any place of significant historical importance, and look at the objects there, objects living the life of their owners through the stories attached to them and when you look at them keenly and altogether, it felt like narrating the complete story itself! And this is the story that makes you go through this experience.
This is the story of the Dahima Dynasty. This shows that when the ancestors created the problems and chaos in the light of Independence, how Rajendra Singh Dahima prepares himself to face it. Will he be able to continue his regime or is there something else written in his destiny? What will his successor do? Will they be able to manage the problems arising with the changing time or will they lose their existence? To know more, read the book.
The most beautiful and convincing aspect of this book is the characters. They make you feel invested in the story and involved in their journey. The change that independence brings for the ruling dynasties and kingdoms, from their way of living to their interaction and faith with the people and how it all changed was beautifully depicted. The women in this story, from Maharani Subhadra to Iravati and especially Aishwarya and Kanchan have so many layers in their character arc, making it a captivating and empowering read.
The book covers a lot of issues through its characters. The patriarchy, royalty, sacrifices for dreams, jealousy, friendship, camaraderie, and many others whose mention would be a spoiler.
As a debut book, the author did a great job with the story, especially with the characters. I just wish the book to be a little shorter, around 50 pages, and carry on the mystery with diverse clues and indicators in the story than the monotonous.
If you want to read a book that shows the subtle change in the dynasties over a while, especially after being affected by independence and having minute details around the main characters, go for it!
