Visa to Paradise is a differently thinking story by Cécile Rischmann. I would consider it a novel which makes easy reading which is something novel these days. Language is lucid and comprehensible. The style of writing is direct to the point and conveys tersely but subtly feelings that lie latent in the minds of many who are actually seeking change although they put on an exterior that doesn't indicate so. The author has been able to give special life to her characters weaving in different aspects of human life. "Love is many a splendoured thing", the great novel by Han Suyin many years ago would resurrect in parts what the author Cecile is portraying. The search for love goes on and on and whoever finds it, finds a treasure because they have found it in a person in a pragmatic way. Kudos to the author for this portrayal.
