My Review of "Faraway Music" by Sreemoyee Piu Kundu



She held my hand and took me along
Where I was not told that others are right and I am wrong…
We sat near the fire…cosy with a coffee…
And she told me my story as if it was not mine 

Well…that’s just something which Sreemoyee did to me through her Faraway Music… 
 Was it my story? The same characters? The same plot? No, not really… the plot was different, so were the characters, the names and the places… still there was a familiarity which just could not be missed… 
To tell you about the book and the story…well….the creation just is so beautiful that one can’t help but fall in love with the time spent with it…Pick the book and you are greeted with a sensuous lady just next to the title “Faraway Music” … and at once, you are transported to a land where there are no rules, no restrictions, only love and desire with melodious notes of music in the background… And then as you turn over the pages, you realise it’s not some story of a wonderland but yeah, definitely a wonderful story of a woman…a woman who has dreams to work for, confidence to make the dreams come true and courage to persist till the victory sign flashes for her…. but that never means she doesn’t wish to be liked, wanted, loved and adored. The story revolves around Piya...her journey from a girl to a woman, from crushes to infatuation to a harmony between love and lust…from her desire to be wanted to the pride of being wanted. Piya is someone who never let the society or fate decide things for her….she made her choices boldly, be it right or wrong…after all how it matters when the journey is eventful all along… The story is beautifully woven around the myriad nature of human emotions, relationships and their manifestations in several forms… it’s a story to be drunk slowly, relished till the last drop and cherished when it has gone all the way to your heart.'
