Review of The shadow of the dark soul by Sukhmani Gandhi

Blurb

Zayesha is a twenty something journalist working in Delhi. Sensitive and compassionate she is a league apart from her contemporaries,who believe in the mantra of manufacturing or making news. Concerned by her boss,she fights against time to work on the Nirbhaya case in order to save her job. Synchronicity plays a crucial life-altering role in her life when a series of events make her question herself during this phase ,Zayesha comes across The Shadow of the Dark Soul, thanks to her next door neighbor. Nothing stays the same afterwards as Zayesha is made to reassess everything. Will she manage to finish her report on time ? How far will she go to step from armchair activism into the realities of life? Will she win in the end?
The questions are many but the answers lie within "THE SHADOW OF THE DARK SOUL"

Review

The shadow of the dark soul is basically about "Change , what we want to see in the world". Being a debut novel , the way Sukhmani Gandhi present such a wonderful story. The story also interacted  with the real survivors , the pain they go through and how they overcome is remarkable. The best thing in this book is its fantastic message, when we want a change in our society first we need to change,rather then only talking about change.I had tears in my eyes , when the girl said 'raped daughter'.
This book revolves around Zaisha , a journalist who is assaigned research work on  The Nirbhaya case by his boss. Being a journalist she has to submit her research on time otherwise , she will be fired from her job.
What happened in The shadow of the dark place? What changed her mind?

Positives

I like the way author presented the story despite being a crucial topic,  the love story gives us a break. The way they respected their love was cute. The title and the story itself touches my heart.

Negatives

There are some errors which should be omitted .
