Sonnets to Paradise

...To touch the skies and even beyond
To flip the earth and also to its respondTo fly and also to fall
To rise and also to halt
To sprint and get injured
To love, like, and embrace ambience from all spheres
For Trials of Confusion
must never be, must never be!'

Sonnets to Paradise is a saga about two female characters who find themselves demarcated in their ordinary mindsets and lives; their monotony and their antiquity. The two characters are not connected by blood or age but by a single piece of poetry manuscript titled, 'Sonnets to Paradise.'

While Nayantara's life is dull in her late 30s, mostly alone in the foreign soil of Rickmansworth; Nicola's life is full of lustful extravagance, momentary romantic escapades, indecisiveness and unsteadiness. On a fateful wintery night, meeting a man full of stoicism and mystery, brings back old memories of Nayantara, so much that it refuels the poetess in her! While the former tries to discover the meaning of her life through her poems, the later engulfs a new, steadfast life by reading them!

This give and take of knowledge and philosophy through poetry changes their lives bit by bit, in a way that both find their imagined 'happy places' and stay content through the medium of lyrical words; till they finally accept their lives, it's challenges and also its joyfulness. They not only mend broken relationships but also breath out love and life!

This book is a contemporary story of two single women in their varied ages, searching for happiness and finally arriving at a peaceful juncture in their lives.
