A Handful of Sunshine by Vikram BhattMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
If I have to use one word to describe this book, then that eould be this: "Bollywood-ish". It has all the ingredients of a bollywood block-buster: a heroin who is "beautiful, petite and slender. Her long hair tumblimg carelessly over her shoulders snd back, eyes shining bright like they held a secret, and her full lips, red- with life, instead of lipstick." A hero who looks like "an angel from a Michelangelo painting". To make it more interesting, the novel also has another hero and another heroin in the side-role. The location changes from Mumbai to Switzerland, then London, and New-York in between. I can almost see the word "INTERMISSION" hovering before my eyes when the part of novel in Mumbai is over, with the break-up of the lead couple.
Anyway, nice storyline, a fast and easy read. Some quotes are really great to remember for a long time.
