FORBIDDEN DESIRES (BOOK REVIEW)
BOOK: FORBIDDEN DESIRES
AUTHOR: MADHURI BANERJEE
The 'Forbidden Desires' is a story of such women who at some point of
life have realized that they have been betrayed in their relationship but
instead of wallowing in sorrow, they free themselves and dare to find someone
who understands them, reciprocates their love and stands by their desires to
follow their passions.
The story is of Naina who gives up her passion of having her own
restaurant to plunge headlong into taking care of family in the process losing
the vivacity of her marriage and is betrayed by one whom she loved most. This
is the story of Ayesha who never got an equal commitment in her marital
relationship yet kept trying to find sanity in her marriage. This is also the
story of Kavita who despite being a successful working woman could not find
enough love and respect within her marriage. And the story is about Kajal who
dares to break the society's rules by desiring a married man, fighting for her
love and yet choosing to not tie herself up in a marital bond.
These women walk out of their marriages to find new love and follow
their dreams. Their lives are entwined. They realize the futility of hanging on
to a dead relationship which binds both the partners.
I will not deny that marriages do not go through a rough patch when you
doubt whether there is anything left worth saving but honestly speaking I
haven't yet met women who have dared to give up on marriages... Maybe there are
women in similar situations as the characters of the story in reality too but
who still are afraid to call their marriages a farce... Or it is possible that
real women have not met a character like an author's 'Pinky' who sets up the
situations and fixes the meetings and forces the person to behave in an out of the
ordinary way when they are at their emotional lows.
In conclusion, the novel is all about love. If a person is not happy at
the home, s/he seeks happy from outside the home. Although people earn money,
they all need is love at the end. The story is simple but will touch the heart
of the readers because of the concept and idea. In this age, we all are
unhappy. We all are running after money or sex. The novel is based on that. All
person need is true love and understanding which we have lost in this age. So,
I would recommend reading the novel for the idea and concept.
