🍀 What she will go for?
🍀 Review - Using Sara as the main protagonist the author has wisely connected each of us to the book. Sara is not just a character in the book instead it reflects many of us who are in search of a real purpose in our life.
It comes many times in our life when we find standing ourselves at a crossroads and unable to decide which path should we choose. That is the time to introspect and ask yourself what is it that you truly want.
What will make you happy in the long run?
The author has fantastically crafted the character of Sara which I think every youth can relate to.
I also liked the idea of starting the chapter with positive quotes. The presentation of the book is perfectly in sync with the content except a bit of editing which would have made the content more impactful.
It’s a book which will leave you motivated.

Here Sara is the protagonist, who straddles between two countries-India and Germany. Despite rich and deep cultural background, she easily blends into a new culture. Here, the book is mostly like a travalogue where the character depicts the scenaries and cuisines of the places she visit. Sarala Kannan, who hails from Tamil Nadu, the southern part of India first set foot in a foreign country at the age of 19.The Germany offers a warm welcome and without much trouble she makes new acquaintances. People seemed to be cheerful and amiable as they host their new guest.
The fear,curiosity and apprehension are all jotted down with much genuinity.Any middle class Indian can relate to this-parents being overtly concerned about our safety and urging us to get married at a certain age. Sarala or Sara sticked to her roots by marrying Jay which was an arranged marriage.Apart from it, many of her encounters became enlightening and became a catalyst for her evolution. Author quoted the quotes of many famous personalities at the beginning of each chapter of her life. Her whole life journey is full of adventure- the attempt to make each daring step or action itself can be described as an adventure. Here, apparently Sara had a smooth pace of life and was devoid of much tragedy or unfortunate events. Her voyage is a smoother one and she lands into a blissful contented conjugal relationship without much effort.Yet, she is ready to accept and welcome any changes or alterations in life without much discord. Therefore, her new beginning starts as she realises that she becomes a mother soon. In overall, the novel has resemblances to journaling or travalogue.Readers themselves are felt like transported to these places which includes Heidelberg, Fort Kochi and Varanasi.It's indeed gives a gratifying reading experience.
