Blurb
What is a story? Where does it begin, where does it end?
A saga of love, loss and seasons of hope, Signs of Life is a vivid and evocative record of life in the times of pandemic. With uncertainty and unrest gripping the world, Kunti finds solace in translating the Mahabharata, cobbling together bits and pieces. As time and space stand suspended, she finds that stories repeat and renew themselves.
My Opinion
Signs of Life by Namita Gokhale is an admirable work of fiction. If you are new to books then, definitely, the book is going to excite you. There are bits of comedy to lighten the mood. And, the best part is the narrator, Vayu Naidu. The voice was so cool and calming that I finished the book in one sitting only. I was expecting the book to be a bit more long. I don't know why good books finish up so early. But, I really enjoyed the book.
Definitely 5 stars for the book. Thanks to Audible for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book.
