Roopa Farooki, Bitter Sweets

Bitter Sweets is a story that encapsulates the idea of family-deception being passed on from generation to generation. It includes a plethora of rich characters, which Roopa Farooki manages to keep the reader interested in by focussing not only on their personal attributes but delving further into telling the story from their individual perspectives. The book comes together as all the lies come out in the open and one main character decides to start being honest and make a change.

Roopa Farooki has not only managed to write a book about the thoughts and feelings of a family from different generations, it goes on further to study more deeper issues such as neglect, bigamism, loveless marriages and even incest.

This is an interesting book and it will appeal to all different ages.
