Well, the book weaves together a narrative that navigates the complexities of grief, family dynamics, and the profound journey from wishful thinking to a determined action. In addition, the manner in which the author has constructed the plot of her book is truly incredible and the readers are bound to feel the thrill while reading this amazing title!

Post her retirement, she has been spending her time freelancing as a corporate trainer, contributing articles to various periodicals, traveling, reading, doing online courses of her interest, practising yoga and meditation, etc. Author Sujatha Rao’s debut book “In the Company of Stories” is a collection of 52 true and imaginary short stories steeped in positivity and was published in 2022. Two of her short stories were placed third in the Times of India’s National Level, Write India Contest; and they made into their subsequent anthologies too.
Over the last two decades, her writings have appeared in The Hindu Business Line, The New Indian Express, The Hindu, Woman’s Era, Femina, Reader’s Digest, Yoga & Total Health and Life Positive. After her retirement from a career in banking, she has been living in the city of Hyderabad in India. While, this particular title, “I Wish & I Will” is published by Evincepub Publishing and has been released in the year 2024. The book is available in paperback as well as in e-book format and the readers can find this title on all the top online marketplaces!
This remarkable title, “I Wish & I Will” by author Sujatha Rao introduces the readers to the family of Bhairavi, Maitreyi, and Kalpana, three generations of women bound together by the intricate threads of love, loss, and the struggle to find meaning in the aftermath of a profound bereavement. The tale opens with a tension-laden atmosphere, as the spectre of the deceased patriarch lingers over the family, especially casting shadows on the relationship between Maitreyi and her daughter Kalpana. Well, the central theme of the book that is the transformation of wishes into will becomes a guiding light for the characters. As, it is a profound exploration of how the power of intent, coupled with action, can be a catalyst for healing and growth.
Interestingly, the title itself encapsulates the essence of the book that is a duality between the ethereal realm of wishes and the grounded determination of the will. This dichotomy becomes a recurring motif, weaving through the narrative like a golden thread, inviting the readers to contemplate their own wishes, unfulfilled dreams, and the untapped reservoir of resilience within them. In addition, through the “12 Reading Worthy Stories” in this book, the author has masterfully navigated the emotional landscape, inviting the readers to reflect on their own wishes, fears, and the latent potential within every individual to turn aspirations into concrete realities!
Now coming to the Readers’ Connect part for this title, “I Wish & I Will” it becomes important to mention that this book is indeed a mind-boggling read. Author Sujatha Rao’s writing is evocative and immersive, painting the vividly rich emotional landscapes that transport the readers to the heart of the story. What sets this book apart is its nuanced exploration of wishes and their transformative power. Through a series of interconnected stories, the author has painted a mosaic of lives touched by the magic of wishes, both fulfilled and unfulfilled. Each character embarks on a unique journey, navigating the delicate balance between desire and reality. A father’s wish to triumph in a game even after death, a mother’s unwavering faith that moves the universe, and a man who discovers joy in purpose after profound loss — these are just a few threads in the rich tapestry of the narrative.
The author’s storytelling is marked by a delicate touch, allowing the readers to emotionally engage with each character’s journey. The portrayal of Kalpana’s rebellious teenage spirit and her grappling with the perceived responsibility for her father’s loss is particularly poignant. The book delves into the complexities of grief, illustrating how it can strain relationships and fuel internal conflicts. Another very important aspect of this book is that the storyline is indeed engrossing & interesting and the narration style by the author is so amazingly lucid, that it would totally hook the readers until the very last page of this inspiring novel. Moreover, this is a book, which will make the readers think about the plot for several times, even after completing the title!
Finally, coming to the Book’s Verdict part where I must begin by mentioning that this title, “I Wish & I Will” is for sure a MUST READ one. Since, it is not just a book, it a journey. This remarkable book presents an exploration of the human experience, where the universal themes of loss, love, and resilience are expertly woven into a compelling narrative. Author Sujatha Rao invites the readers to traverse the labyrinth of emotions, guiding them towards a profound realization – that within every wish, there lies the seed of will, waiting to sprout and bloom into a life filled with deeper purpose and meaning.
Undoubtedly, Sujatha Rao is a promising author and she certainly is very creative with her thoughts, which the readers can feel through her spectacular writings. In addition, her honest and hard work makes this book even more Reading Worthy!

Book Review ~ 📚
Title : I Wish & I Will
Author : Sujatha Rao
The touching examination of the strength of desires and the resiliency of the human spirit found in Sujatha Rao's I Wish & I Will is really touching. Rao explores the deep effect wishes have on people and their quest for fulfillment with a number of moving tales.
The book does an excellent job of capturing the contrast between the happiness that comes from wishes coming true and the pain that results from unmet goals. The stories of people from all backgrounds, each battling with their own aspirations, setbacks, and hopes, are deftly woven together by Rao. These heartwarming and profoundly moving stories in I Wish & I Will include a father who finds a way to win a game even after his death and a mother whose unshakable faith causes the cosmos to grant her request.
The remarkable man who, in the face of severe loss and unfulfilled wishes, finds happiness in creating a life with meaning is my favorite character in the book. The story of his journey is a moving reminder of the strength of perseverance and the capacity to achieve purpose and happiness despite hardship.
The inspiring book I Wish & I Will honors the human spirit's tenacity and the ability to change desires into will. Rao gives readers an insight into the depths of human emotions and the enormous effects of hope and perseverance through his moving and inspirational stories. I heartily urge anyone looking for tales of bravery, resiliency, and the unbreakable human spirit to pick up this book. That is proof of the effectiveness of optimism and the capacity to find fulfillment and strength even in the most trying times of life.

I would like to end this review by sharing an anecdote by Mr. Janakiram (character name) in Story 12 titled “I Wish & I Will” when he’s asked if he would like to give any advice to young aspiring entrepreneurs to which he replies as follows - Life is a journey marked by milestones. You cross one and go after another. It is the hunger that drives you, not the satiation of a full stomach. So retain the hunger and stay hungry.
Successful entrepreneurs value both dreams and action. There are no genies in a bottle that can grant our wishes. We need to plan, prepare, and act accordingly.

While literature is all about inducing pleasure and happiness, there are times when it becomes didatic. This means that it has the power to deeply influence people's attitude and perspective. A good literary piece can bring immense virtues in people's life.They are therefore necessary and needed in every society for the act of purification.
Here the teenager Kalpana is totally devastated by her father's death and blames it to her mother or fate. Her tender and tumultuous teenage mind is unable to accept the death.She ponders deeply on it and wonders why did it had to happen to her beloved father. Here, here grandmother Bhairavi comes as saviour and guide and pacifies her by telling storing of other deaths.The bitter fact that it can happen to anyone at anytime shakes her thoughts.Although she kept defending at first, she began to think deep and finally came in terms with the death. All the stories told by her Ammamma are realistic and much akin to modern life.
Here I believe that the author took a rather unhappy topic for fictional creation. Death is always gloomy and depressing. People avoid and try to stay away from such topics as it may affect their pleasures. But the author strictly emphasises that death too is a reality and one should not shut their eyes from it. Author's narration seems a bit multilayered and complex. But the way she keeps the track back to the core or Kalpana is amazing. I am in every way touched and moved by the theme of the novel. Author's experimentation with the narrative style is also remarkable.
