Review of Dawn at Dusk

Title : Dawn at Dusk

Author : Gaurav Sharma





As the blurb of the book goes : Yet to go through an ordeal, the millionaire scion Aradhaya is much cossetted only-son of Talukdars. Suddenly, his life gets upended when he loses his parents and is deceived by the girl he marries. In his attempt to overcome, he falls for Sambhavi, who is a renowned writer and professor, because he sees her as the shadow of his mother. Sambhavi lays her condition. Aradhaya gives up too soon. Distraught, he leaves his house in search of peace and starts a life of a recluse among the people with little means and ambitions until his love for Sambhavi guides and inspires him to do something extraordinary. What does he do? What course does his life take? Does Sambhavi accept him? Let's hear Aradhaya's story...





My View :Impressed by Gaurav's previous works, expectations from his latest release were pretty high.'Dawn at Dusk' takes unexpected turns at unexpected level and that would make the reader hook to the story.The story sways as a gentle wind, which would just let the reader flow with it.The story paces with a great speed, which for an impatient reader becomes a gold coin in the basket, while for the one who seeks to get dwell in the emotions of the character, it becomes a loss of the gold coin.


What I found more attractive in his latest release is the story-line, rather than the presentation of the story.The task of narrating the story is brilliantly done, but somehow I feel the lack of emotions in it which a reader could feel. As this is the story full of emotions, the reader should feel completely involved in the story, and should walk parallel to the protagonist, which in my case didn't happen,as Aradhaya was just a mere character to me.


An easy-go story  which a reader could enjoy on a relaxing weekend.


Rating: 3.5/5
