Book Review: Vivan's Love Story by Himanshu Arora

This novel is written in first person narration from a male perspective which is unusual for a love story, but it's also interesting. Two scenes are written omnisciently which is a bit jarring, but you get past it because it's merely used to drive the plot. Getting past the language may be difficult for some because it's not written in modern standard English but a flavored English/ Hindi hybrid. As a reader, if you can get past that, you'll find yourself falling into a good narrative. Vivan who's a Hindu falls for a Muslim girl, Sayra at the hospital where he works when he and his mentor fail to save her father' life. It's a love at first sight deal for him. Vivan performs random acts of kindness with Sayra's father's burial and gets Sayra a job while getting to know her. His two buddies razz Vivan about Sayra and the impossibleness of the situation, but being good friends, they have his back. Vivan also has his parents pressuring him to marry and a mentor trying to fix him up with his niece. The novel does a subtle commentary on arranged marriages and the lack of choice versus choice and happiness. You'll also question if the two are mutually exclusive. Vivan meets Shruti, his mentor's niece who is also a fellow physician and the two hit it off, although she's aware of his feelings for Sayra, she, unfortunately, falls for Vivan, hard. Vivan is a man left with nothing but choice. However, being a story from India (I grew up on them) some twists are unexpected, followed by death and if you are expecting a HEA, this is not the book for you, be warned. What you do get is a wonderfully woven narrative where our narrator reaches a stage of incredible growth and satisfaction as a person. As the reader, that has to be enough because the book ends with hope and what is life without hope?
