Elisa, returns to a chaotic England along with her handicapped father amidst the Irish counter rebellion with the destruction of the WWII still lingering.
The story proceeds with a brilliant narrative that keeps your curiosity alive with every chapter. Kanhai, marries a Muslim woman,with a little deterrence from his family and continues with his life in India.
The changing environment of India, decade after decade and how it impacted the life of the population is quite vividly depicted.
Also, subsequently the story of Elisa's life and her son's also forwards with an in depth idea about the situation of turmoil in Ireland,where they settled.
The climax finally tied all the loose ends and it was something that I was looking forward to. Definitely didn't let me down.
"THE JOURNEY" sings of hope in despair, of family ties that always stand above anything else.
