Book review: The House of May Flowers

  Book review:

🌸 The story of The House of May Flowers is like a fairy tale that is about the Kodagu village. We get to see how the life of Raja becomes fragmented after the death of his father and even more so as he begins his journey living in his uncle's house. 

🌸 As he returns to claim his legacy, he stands at a crossroad. There is also a dark secret that is crippling Raja. It is quite interesting to find out if he will find his love and happiness beyond the Mayflower house. Will he be able to seek any knowledge that sets him free from his tragic past?

🌸 The author has penned the storyline very well and the characters are well-plotted. Raja's life is vibrant and powerful. The author pours light on the mother and son bonding where his mother is his beacon of light despite the tragedies of his life but even so, he has a lion's heart.

🌸 I would like to share the best advice that was given to Raja that is true for everyone:

" Adversity makes you a man. It is not in others' capacity to change their destiny. Suresh had a destiny that he had to live through. For that, you cannot punish yourself. You have to remember; you set an example for your children.  You owe it to your family, your workers, and most importantly, you owe it to the memory of your mother to be strong".

🌸 Best quote from the book:

"There is no such thing . It is only our imaginations building stories to support our crumbling system . When we connect our blind beliefs with our circumstances, it seems as if there is a connection".

🌸 I relished reading this deep-insight book completely and would recommend this book to all.

🌸 Happy Reading!
