I sat quietly for a while, after finishing this book. It is one of those stories that asks you to slow down and feel instead of rushing to judge. I found it interesting because it feels deeply personal and thoughtful.
The idea for this story came to the author after hearing a real incident from her aunt about a young girl’s kidnapping , its an event that changed a woman’s entire life. That seed stayed with the author and slowly grew into questions about what life really means, how people live with loss, and how they still move forward.
Set in an India of the 1970s and 80s, the book follows ordinary people living under the shadow of violence and uncertainty.
Like Rumi’s field beyond right and wrong, The Road to Foreverness becomes a quiet, open space where the soul may finally rest where words fall away, meanings soften, and feeling takes precedence over judgment. In that stillness, life is no longer argued or explained; it is simply lived, and the heart listens.
The story unfolds in an India darkened by violence and quiet endurance, a world that feels unsettlingly familiar today. Beneath everyday routines, unrest murmurs on.
Binni, Shardul, and others live within this unease uncertain, grieving, questioning, yet moving forward. The story does not chase politics; instead, it listens to those who endure them, the unnoticed lives history often forgets.
Through love, faith, and fragile hope, it reflects on survival: how people rebuild from ruins.
The book gently asked me to slow down, to notice silences, and to hear what is left unspoken.
Truly I personally felt the characters feel real, flawed, and human. At times the story felt nostalgic and warm, and at other times emotionally heavy and unsettling.
I got my copy from Amazon, and I am glad I chose it. Paperback, hardcover is available and I love the cover art.
I felt there are good things to learn from this story.
🔸️It shows how real-life stories can shape powerful fiction
🔸️It teaches the value of slowing down and observing life
🔸️It explores loss without melodrama
It highlights quiet strength in ordinary people
🔸️It reflects emotional growth across different life stages
🔸️It focuses on human experiences, not politics
🔸️It shows how love survives difficult times
It reminds us that healing is not always loud
Overall, I will definitely recomemd it to all. Its a meaningful fiction with a message. If you like reading books that stays with you long after reading, do not miss this one.

Book Tropes:
• Childhood Friends to Lovers
• A Love Story of a Dacoit and a Simple Girl
• Violence Public Faced in 1970s India
“Between struggles and bloodshed, Love still finds it’s way”
StoryTelling:
This is a story of Binni(FMC) and Hira(MMC). Hira was poor and lives with his mother. Hira was such a shy when he was a little child so our FMC with her friend Reba rescued him from the bullying of other children in a school. Then they became friends but one day MMC and his mother left without telling anyone. There friends looked for him but he’s nowhere to be found.
After passing of years, Binni get married to another person and our MMC becomes a DACOIT, Now, the question is how they came together and what tragic incidents they hold…
If i portray this story through my eyes then i sees it as a back story of Gabar from Sholay (bollywood) movie but here Gabar is emotional for his own people and fell in love.

An engaging book after a long time! It's hard to believe this is the author's first book, loved the language, the proses, smooth flow, the nostalgia of the 80s, depiction of beautiful landscapes, the love story with changing perspectives spanning 2 decades. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Thoroughly engaging for a debut novel.
Set against the raw and violent backdrop of the Wasseypur era, the story beautifully weaves themes of true love, separation, devotion, nostalgia, longing, and hope. These emotions bind the central characters in a deeply moving way.
The legend of Binni and Shardul will linger long after the last page is turned.
