"Tara Devaraya would no longer be happy but she would pretend."
The plot is certainly interesting and quite secretive just like its characters. Everyone has a secret and Tara Devaraya, a young widow and the protagonist has her secrets too. The book prologue opens with Tara slitting the wrists of a man and his helpless pleas, while she thinks she should have cut his throat!
The Devarayas are powerful people with unbelievable rumors about them, like Tara's grandfather killing his own son and more. While she reunites with her family, she is entangled into a web of secrets to an extent where she must choose to either reveal her secret or to repeat the same sin.
Definitely an intriguing read, narrated well enough to keep me hooked till the end, however the only issue is the length of the book, that it could have been a little shorter than the provided 374 pages without losing the same amazing essence of the book. The story is nevertheless quite interesting and can be easily built up into a movie. Overall, a nicely created work.
