Good Things are Around the Corner by Anil Bairwal | Book review

Book review :

"Good Things are Around the Corner" is an empowering novel that celebrates the strength and resilience of women who dare to defy societal expectations. It encourages readers to follow their passions, make their own choices, and embrace the unpredictable journey of life. The book serves as a reminder that the pursuit of happiness often requires courage, sacrifice, and staying true to oneself. 

The story narrates the struggle of a final year student at Delhi University, Devika. Her only suppressed passion is Painting. She is supported by her friends Ahana and Mohini. Though she belongs to a conservative family but she tries to overcome all hurdles and obstacles and starts painting in secret. She falls in love with a fellow student Chaman who evoke as a coward when she spoke about marriage.

Devika's family ties her knot with a wealthy person but all in vain. Her marriage merely works for 3months and she files a domestic violence complaint. After taking the divorce decree without any family support , she is to start afresh. Will she be able to acheive a breakthrough as a painter? Will she ever find her true love?

The author's artistry shines through in the compelling narrative centered around Devika, a young woman who tenaciously pursues her dreams despite familial opposition. The book is divided in three parts and each chapter begins with a quote that not only relates to brief of the chapter but one social issue. The way the whole story is narrated through the characters is outstanding. His unique and meticulous way of evoking awareness to societal issues and how women should try to overcome it is adroit.

Quote from the book that piqued me a lot :

💦"It is never easy to get anything out of a politician."

💦"You can tell a lot about a person's life by the type of tea one drinks."

Overall, "Good things are Around the Corner" tells an unforgettable love story of a strong willed woman hell bent on following her heart. It is a testament to the indomitable spirit of individuals who dare to challenge societal norms and pursue their dreams against all odds.
