Book Review-
‘Perfect imperfect’ is a complex love triangle
involving the three protagonists- Jimmy, Samarth and Farah.
It is a well-written piece of
prose, the language easy and the grammar unblemished (a big thing in today’s
times when in the name of so-called ‘creativity’, the so-called ‘authors’ tear
to pieces, the basic rules of grammar). At times, a few words are repeated, but
I will let that pass.
The twists in the tale are on the
expected lines but the story builds towards the climax in a streamlined
fashion. The ending is unconventional.
The author has dealt with the frailties
in human nature; the sins- Luxuria (lust), gula (gluttony), avaritia (greed),
acedia (sloth), ira (wrath), superbia (pride) and invidia (envy) pervading the
lives of the three lead characters. As is evident, the ‘dramatis personae’ in
this novel are all coloured in the shades of grey.
I finished reading this ‘romantic
thriller’ over the course of one night and needless to say- it did not
disappoint me.
I look forward to reading the other books penned by this prolific writer- 'Lover's Rock', 'Mail Order Bride' and 'Seven Stories'.
