Summer of 93 by Archana Somvanshi

 

I adore this book because it beautifully unravels a family's hidden secrets amongst the ancestral village adventure.

Summer of 93 is a story about a family with hidden secrets. Three brothers and sisters go on an adventure to their ancestral village. They hear about their forgotten aunt, Saraswati, and meet Kashinath, who has a sad past. They also have their strong grandmother, Janki Devi, who is dealing with her own problems.

As they explore their family's history, they uncover old truths that bring out feelings of revenge & force them to face their past. The story is full of love, sadness, & memories of the past. Despite facing challenges from society's divisions, the characters try to mend their relationships & hold onto love during tough times.

Author's storytelling takes readers back to 1993, like of village life & family struggles. The book is good at showing how families deal with problems & how love can overcome difficulties. The author's descriptions make the village come alive, making readers feel like they're really there.

Although this is a made-up story, it also talks about real issues like India's caste system & how it affects people's lives. Through the characters, readers learn about the problems caused by caste discrimination & the importance of breaking free from it.

It is a touching story about family, love, & forgiveness. The Author's writing is easy to understand, making it easy for readers to get lost in the story. After finishing the book, readers will think about its message and how it relates to their own lives.
