Amrita Mahale has a distinguished style of writing her characters, she portrayed them with utmost care and dignity and I left my heart inside this novel. I picked this novel because it has wilderness, wildlife research and a missing friend, it was the first thing that attracted me, something rare in Indian literature, but what I didn't expect was a profound realization and stirring emotional whirlpool. A gripping whodunnit narrative, a search journey for a missing friend evolved into two friends life stories. Two girls, very different from each other, how could they become friends? Nobody knows and they became inseparable friends. Mansi, and Tara, two very different personalities, two very different kinds of characters. Mansi, the power she was always looking for, finds it in Tara, and unknowingly they find emotional accommodation in each other. One day Mansi read the news,Tara is missing. Mansi left her home, her husband to search Tara, little did she know that this expedition is going to be an introspective journey too. At the end I could feel Tara was growing inside Mansi in a different way.. I don't know if anyone felt that way. Tara's fiery nature is deployed in a manner that creates a remarkable picture. Her protest against the passive voice of social abuse and social hierarchy, handled carefully and shows maturity, I absorbed her each act even though they are not conventional but she never presented as a radical rather she was rational. And Mansi as a contrasting character was brilliant. Now I know I can pick Amrita Mahale's book any day, from now on she is my go to author. But last few chapters felt dragged.
