“The way you make an omelet reveals
your character.”
― Anthony Bourdain
‘The colour of love’ is a book that
has the potential to blow away the cobwebs and enchant the readers with love
spell. With an appealing yet somber cover and a precise blurb the book outlook
tells the readers exactly what they can expect. The genre is, no doubt,
romance.
Sarfaraz, who is born and brought up
in a middle class family and has been imbibed with moral values and orthodox
customs, is our protagonist. With his flamboyant personality, he can make every
girl weak in her knees. His search for true love is what the story focuses on.
Meghna, a down-to-earth and humble lady, is our female protagonist. The love
birds fall in love only to face the hurdles that lie ahead.
With the increasing number of
Romantic genre books in the market, somehow I feel my interest declining. But
there are books that leave a strong imprint on your mind. This book failed to
do so. Already bored of reading college romance, I could not relate to the plot
this time because of redundant ideas and lengthy monologues.
The book, however, addresses a very
important issue of inter religion marriages and might serve as an eye-opener
for all. Sarfaraz’s struggle to get his love interest and fight all odds like
standing up for what his family feels is not right, has been portrayed
beautifully. The author has been very thoughtful and has used good vocabulary
in depicting the characters of Meghna and Sarfaraz.
Not to forget the simple dialogue
delivery and lucid narration, this book will definitely interest those who prefer
College/ Teen romance. Somehow I feel that there was no need to include the
scenes that described the physical intimacy.
The title of the book could have
been better. With predictable plot, the story does not offer anything new. But
the author has succeeded in keeping the language simple and lucid. There are
typos in the book and they can be spotted time and again.
Best wishes to the author!
