Review
Maybe the title of this book rings a bell- The Unexpected Son – Vinita Patil amidst her settled and happy life gets a note about how her son is ill and he is in dire need of her. The story further casts light on the possibility of her having a son, and how she is coping up with the situation. The drama takes a turn of chaos as her balanced and content life is shook with the unexpected intruding news. The book pretty much effectively depicts that past tormenting present and present self, resolving past mistakes and workout the way of character growth.
