A Mother's Goodbye

I absolutely loved every minute of reading a Mothers choice, it's such a heartbreaking read, the characters were so well developed, I really felt for Grace Heather and Issac, this is such a wonderful book, I highly recommend it.

“A mother’s Goodbye” by “Kasturi Patra” reflects emotions, which will stay with you long after completing the book.
How many times do we read stories or see pictures which glorify the pain of a mother as unconditional love? She indeed loves her child unconditionally but what about her dreams and ambitions. Our patriarchal society just sees a mother as a sacrificer and demands no errors in parenting.
This is a story of three children, 17 years Avik, 16 years Mou, and 8 years Ishaan. One day when Mou back from the home she finds a note that her mother has left. This is a journey of all three to live their life, to chase their dreams, to find their identity, and to find their mother.
The lucid writing style makes this read flowy. What I like about the writing is that Kasturi creates a story which did not allow you to be judgmental, it simply allows you to understand the different perspectives of persons. This book not just holds a women’s story, also bashing the gender-equality, search for own identity and respecting other’s choice. I love the way the author crafts an internal conflict of characters and how they deal with it. 
Overall, this is a story layered with many emotions and conflicts, I would recommend this to everyone.
