Our Story Ends Here

Marking New Beginnings ....

Book Review

A Novel by Sara Naveed 

 

I remember when Sara declared her second novel's title " Our Story Ends Here" on Twitter, I just commented on it " No it has just begun" and I was right this novel seems a marking of new beginnings for the writer as it is one of her best work published. Our Story Ends Here is Sara Naveed's Second Novel on Romance genre and she has shown immense improvement in all areas be it plot, characters or ending, her writing is getting matured. The novel was published by an International Publishing Company The Penguin India Wow!

Coming Back to the novel, the appealing narration technique is the first merit of the novel, the first person technique from both the characters Mehar and Sarmad allows the readers to peek right into the minds and hearts of those characters. We developed empathy towards them. Both characters seems real and believable except in few places the hero particularly as a child seems too sweet and lovey dovey to be believed. The Novel is set in the beautiful valley of Swat then there are beautiful imagery of Badshahi Mosque and Wazir Khan Mosque making me miss Lahore even more :(

The plot of the novel was amazing and not for a single time I find it boring. The theme of love  and Romance is perfectly executed through out the novel. It is referring of Old Hindi romantic songs, or making cute paper origami, the novel is full of such cute and sweet scenes. My most favorite one was from the last scene where Sarmad was asking Mehar will you be great mothe ? will teach your kids how to make crane origamies awww that was so cute.

The theme of terrorism is too wisely tackled  and Sara has depicted a true picture, yes  its true every terrorist has a story. The ending of the novel is too perfect well the question arises can we call it a Tragedy or not? I am confused because a Union is shown in the end, the triumph of Love where souls meet forever, however but they both died. Well a bomb defuse squad could have save them.😢 However they have found their eternal love. This is an excellent novel by Sara Naveed, beautifully written and expressed. Keep writing and inspiring us Sara its just the beginning ! love u💕
