Skeins




https://The Reason of picking this one to read was it's title.

Skein - The Meaning Of This Word Is "𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝".

Skeins by Richa Gupta is story of a journey. How a 13 days of Journey to abroad brought back joy of living to the group of women is the concept the book is about.

Story starts with in 2017, 13 women aged between 27 to 65 and strangers for each other decides to gather along and made a plan of flying to abroad. How the journey made them aware about their limits and taught them to explore beyond it all. How they all had their different stories but they were skeined together through the thin knot.

This whole story seems like a travelog but the emotions and charecterization made it best at every aspect. The little things author have done the narration crisp and on point. There are so many different charecters and author has done a marvelous job at maintaining the differences and scripting down the dialogues.

The story is parted in chapters. Each chapter is short and convincing.

In beginning, it seemed little tough to grasp the first two chapters (Just my perspective) but once the story proceeded it was a definite delight.

Will be looking forward to read more from author.

Recommended!
