I felt very very light-headed when I started with the last chapter of the novel. But after completion, I should say, with a heavy heart I had to close the cover of it. It was some kind of a feeling that stood deserted between the awe of its continuation as well as the conclusion. I understood that the title "Pearl in the Mist" was very apt to the story itself. At times the novel made me think about what Ruby Laundry's life would have been for me if I had been in her space. Women should try to be relentless and resolute.,as much as the society and her situation put on her it's demands. Illicit treatment given to the so-called "Backward classes", by the Royal Society Brutes has still not been vanquished by any power in any country. The Cajun family is an example of this statement. Ruby Dumas stands as an embodiment of valiant qualities and moral courage, etching her identity in a great way onto the reader's mind. Virginia Andrews, a wonderful writer, has been easy on her language and has played a perfect role in bringing out and tingling our emotions!!!! I loved it!!
THE CHARIOT OF OUR ANGELS! After so many phases of colour transformations, finally, our bus has become yellow....Yellow????.sigh........ Anyway, I've seen blue with penguins but not this. Sometimes I hate our buses for chasing us away with our books and lunch boxes during the casual turns...so much remodelling..so many cras.....ssshhhesss... oopsie!!! I didn't mean to say that...Well..now it's a vibrant bucket of bolts...good! THE GRAND GATEWAY! It's hard for me to not keep thinking about our old watchman. Sharp at 8:45 these huge pair of gates would be closed.There would be a little door too...for other people to enter..and the notice board that you see right there always captivated us during monsoons....we'd wait for some holiday notes to be written so we could run back home. Emails or Phones or WhatsApp didn't exist then. Though these gates did scare us a few times...it very well taught us the bottom line.."Be Punctual!
