Plot & Review
Do you know the feeling when you read a book and you are certain that you did not understand it completely but still like it?
Yeah, that’s how I am feeling right now.
I read one Pen To Publish 2019 entry yesterday. Well, I read three but I am going to review one by one.
The title of the story is ‘Sang-e-Raah ()’. The title and the description attracted me as it sounded like a Urdu story.
The cover is beautiful and summarizes the story in a way. Don’t you feel that the stone is about to roll out and crush you? Just me, then?
The story is short, only 14 pages long and does not take more than 10 minutes to read. The language is lucid and narration flows smoothly. It has a very subtle romance ‘feel’.
The two characters are unnamed – he and a girl he meets. I totally fell in love with him, for his ideology and his loneliness. I can relate to the odd-ones, who stand out for themselves against the norms of their surrounding as I deal with the same thing EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.
But I am not sure if I understood the ending. If anyone else reads that story, please explain it to me.
I’d highly recommend the book to those who are
– just beginning to read
– like short stories
– like serious stories with message
