"One should try always to keep a little dew in one's heart, or else, in the heat and weariness of the desert it may dry up and blow away like a leaf."

The story revolves around a woman called Valentine Valdana, who, as the name of the novel suggests, is a wanderer, a vagabond. But what happens when love strikes and her wandering feet find themselves stuck in the much mundane yet chaotic role of a housewife?
This is a tale of classic romance and marriage that struggles to find itself. For the people who like to venture into the dramatic fiction, this one is definitely worth a read.
This is a tale of solitariness, which follows you like a lover. This is a tale of hopes and love and broken hearts.

I discovered the author with this book. The writing style, which uses beautifully woven words and metaphors, feels like the shade of a banyan tree to the heart on a hot summer afternoon.
If I had to describe this book in one word, I'd say it is Poetry.

I'm really surprised that there are no reviews over this book and not many ratings! I would recommend everyone to give it a read.
