A Distant Heart by Sonali Dev Book Review:
A Distant Heart by Sonali Dev is a book that I had been eagerly awaiting. Then even though it can be read as a standalone story but in my opinion, it will be best understood and cherished if you have read Sonali’s previous book, “A Change of Heart” first. Because the plot carries forward from where it left off in the previous book.
We saw Inspector Rahul chasing down the mastermind behind an organ trafficking ring in “A Change of Heart“. But despite a partial closure, the mystery behind the operation of this deadly organs trafficking ring and how it all connects to people near Rahul’s heart is revealed in this book. So, here we get an up and close look into Rahul’s life and finally meet Kimi aka Kimaya, his one weakness outside of his family.
Things I liked:
I had absolutely adored “A Change of Heart“. And this book again had me enthralled. Sonali Dev truly understands the inner workings of the heart and her attention to the minutest of details about daily life and human nature had me respecting her more and more.
She vividly and realistically sketches the two worlds : one of privilege and the other of the common man working hard to provide two square meals to his family. One is symbolised by our hero, Rahul and the other by Kimaya. I loved following the story as it went back and forth in time and traced a journey of love, friendship, loss, determination and second chances.
The writing style is vivid, engaging and will keep you hooked right till the end. I enjoyed meeting Nick, Nikki and Joy from the previous book. And this book has finally given me the contentment that I get when all the dots in a mystery finally connect.
A stark, sometimes scary and other times brutally honest, this book had me feeling myriad of emotions. So, I am so so happy to have gotten a pre-release copy of this book. Ms Dev’s books have become an “Auto-buy” for me and even before I finish her one book, I am already eager to get her next book!
Conclusion:
A definite must read, I give A Distant Heart by Sonali Dev 4.5 stars out of 5 and Njkinny recommends it all romance lovers. So, if you like an intense, brooding hero, a fiercely independent heroine, a potent romance and a mystery that tests all your brain cells then this book is for you.
I received an ARC from the publishers via Netgalley and I am very thankful to them. The above is my honest and unbiased opinion and in no way influenced.
