Hi folks, hope you are doing well. Sorry for a pause as I was having my exams. Now I can take a breath and can write a beautiful review for this week. Today we are going to talk about
“Pyjamas Are Forgiving” which is a 2018 Indian fiction novel written by Twinkle Khanna. It was published by Juggernaut Books on 7 September, 2018. The novel is narrated by Anshu, a middle-aged woman who is suffering from sleep disorder.
The book is narrated by a woman named, Anshu who is in her early 40’s (divorced) and is childless. To take a well-earned break, Anshu is in a Kerala Ayurvedic Shanthamaaya spa, where food is rationed, sex forbidden, and emotions cantered, whilst on her journey to remove ‘Dosha,’ Anshu is met with a familiar, yet a deeply unsettling sight- her philandering ex-husband, Jay, with his much younger wife, Shalini- who is quite opposite from her, both in physical and emotional term. Initially, Anshu is shocked and feels indignant, but slowly she is ready to balance and accept the sheer emotion of facing her ex-husband who left her for a younger looking woman.
Apart from the daily regime of drinking ghee, to performing the physical discomfort of Yoga poses, Anshu revisits the memory of her broken marriage in the ashram where she and her ex-husband were frequent visitors. As what the author has said in one of her interviews, the book ‘Pyjamas are Forgiving’ is reverse, a flip-book store where you start from the end where you have fallen out of love instead of the beginning. What would that look like?
Pyjamas are Forgiving is a drama whose story revolves around love, marriage, infidelity, longing and divorce. There is a good message to be learned from the book especially when it comes to falling and giving yourself in love. Love is a beautiful thing but when it comes at the price of losing oneself, it’s never worth it.
Pyjamasare Forgiving doesn’t lack in entertainmentquotient. It is a short, quick and easy read that is equal parts entertainingand equal parts inspiring. Anshu’s story has a lesson for everyone and it willbe shame to not witness the beauty of Twinkle’s writing first hand.
Read the book if –
- If you want to read a light and refreshing read
