Reading a Fiction is one of the best ways to understand another person’s perspective. My favourite way to escape from the reality is to curl up with a romance novel. Books are probably the only place where old-school romance still exists. Romantic fiction ranges from Happily ever after to romantic tragedies.  
 
Sometimes all we need is a good cry. Not all love stories are rainbow and butterflies. Our feeling of empathy is certainly bound to grow as we pick these beautiful gems.

  • The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks  

 

A love story like none other. A love story that stands the test of time. The Notebook had me in tears by the end. The Notebook begins with an Eighty-year-old man reciting a heart touching story about Noah Calhoun and Allie Nelson, hoping for a miracle to occur.

It was the year 1946, and Noah had just returned from the war. He spent his time restoring an old plantation house, and reminiscing about a girl from his past. It had been fourteen long years but the summer he spent with her was engraved on his heart. Allie Nelson is engaged to Lon Hammond, a successful lawyer and a gentleman. Lon belonged from a good family and had great accomplishments, which were the only considerations for marriage. He was good to her yet Allie felt a void in their relationship. Allie longed for the love she received fourteen summers back.

She comes across something unbelievable on the newspaper. With her wedding preparations on the swing, Allie Nelson takes a brash decision and drives to New Bern. Allie stands once again in front of Noah after fourteen years. Will this meeting rekindle the love they shared once again?

Would she choose to stay with Noah or go back to Lon?
Who is the man reciting this story to? What is the miracle he is hoping for?

The Notebook is an engaging and a moving tale that will answer all these questions as the story progresses. Noah and Allie’s reunion enfold into beautiful and a heart touching story.

Bonus Recommendation 

  • Mythological Fiction – Palace of Illusions by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni 

The Palace of Illusions is a retelling of the greatest Indian epic of all time – The Mahabharata. Learning the series of events through the eyes of Draupadi makes this book way more special.  From dreaming to mark a place in the history to be the major reason of the great war, she did make her dream come true.

The author, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni added the thoughts of a modern woman to Draupadi’s character. The shameful humiliation she faced from men made Draupadi open a council for the ladies in the period of her reign. Her untold love for Karna is portrayed well. My heart ached as I read about Karna’s life.
