Will they overcome this false materialistic life to keep their love alive forever? Will their love survive without having a physical existence of the human body? Dive in to find all these answers.
Book Review: An Imperishable Promise by Sarathi Sabyasachi Sahoo
Books about death and dying are particularly hard to review. Since our reactions to them are so uniquely individual, I doubt that anyone’s or my own review of the book will be helpful to other readers. When we read, we don’t come to the book with a clean slate—we come to it with years of experiences, friendships, and memories that provide us with a vantage point from which to view the story. If, like me, you have a terrible tendency for existentialism, you will find yourself evaluating your own life and relationships alongside the protagonist, which will only heighten your emotional investment in the story. In this tale, Sarathi Sahoo asks thought-provoking questions about life, death, and the mysteries that may possibly exist in between.
The story follows Raj and Kashish, who were head over heels in love with each other and eventually tied the knot. Everything can dramatically change in the blink of an eye. One day, when Raj and Kashish were on vacation in Goa, they were involved in an accident, and as a result, they both lost each other to life and death. Raj’s recollection of the events that took place immediately after the crash is of their injured bodies being extracted from the wreckage and taken to the hospital. Little by little, he tries to put the pieces together, to figure out what he’s lost, what he still has, and the very difficult choice he has to make.
The connection between Raj and Kashish is sincere; the two of them are head over heels in love, but they also face genuine challenges, not all of which can be resolved with a simple snap of the fingers. Deepak is a wonderful best friend; he is snarky and compelling, and his appearances in the novel are brimming with passion and affection. Beautiful to the point of breaking your heart, this will alter your perspectives on life, love, and family in profound and lasting ways.
In a beautiful painting, the brightest colours appear next to the darkest of lines, and the same is true for this book: the most adorable, compassionate, and beautiful moments are surrounded by despair and sorrow that is so real that you will grin through your tears and sob with a smile. An Imperishable Promise is a book that exemplifies the type of beauty that can only live alongside despair, and as a result, the book shines much brighter. It is filled with joy and sadness, smiles and tears, new life and death, a new beginning and the last farewell, love and heartbreak. By writing a book filled with parallels, Sarathi Sabyasachi Sahoo proves that life has no opposite and thus leaves readers with an overwhelming sense of joy and hope despite the tears and grief that they are bound to experience.
The novel’s strength lies in its overall storyline and its outcome, as well as in its meticulous attention to detail. It will be noted that the writing is not flawless. There are several aspects of it that may have benefited from a little more polishing. Some of the passages may have benefited from an additional round of editing. However, the emotional and intellectual depth of this book makes up for any shortcomings in its technical aspects of writing.
An Imperishable Promise is a novel that is primarily concerned with life and death and the ways in which we fail to see the significance of the ordinary events that occur in our daily lives. Author Sarathi Sahoo uses subtleties to tell his story in a deeply emotional and moving way. He crafts beautiful moments out of the most ordinary situations and helps you realise that having a friend who would risk their life for you makes life worth living even if everything else around you appears to be crumbling.
Despite the somewhat depressing nature of the subject matter, this is a narrative of optimism, affirmation of life, and all the perks that come with it. A story like this has the power to alter your perspective on life and prompt you to consider your own preferences in similar circumstances. You will be driven to examine your own life, your priorities, and the finite amount of time you have left. I would recommend reading this book to anybody who is interested in doing some introspection.
