Review of The Agony of Love
About Author:
Neilay Khasnabish, in his early
twenties, is a B Tech and works at a Government Research Lab. His Scientific
and creative writings were published in several magazines. The Agony of Love is
his debut novel. He is working on his second novel based on backdrop of
Kaziranga.
Plot: 3/5
The plot revolves around life of a
Bengali boy, who falls in love with a Bengali girl. In India, Lovers can be
successful if they have same religion and same caste, in most of the cases.
Both the characters belong to same religion and caste. Come from same status
and education, their families are not rivals in any way, yet they face problems
in their love life. Wanna know why? Then I recommend you this wonderful novel.
Characters: 3/5
Srijan Ghose:
Protagonist of the novel, who is well educated, who follows his heart and falls
in love with very beautiful girl. For loving this girl, he is kidnapped by
goons and tortured to death of self-esteem.
Priyam Majmudar: A beautiful girl with self-respect, who is clear in her thoughts about
love and life. She is a girl, who inspires Srijan to fight all the hurdles in
their path of love.
Mr. Chaterjee:
He is author by profession who teaches some foolish lessons to Srijan about
writing poetry.
There are also minor characters like other relatives of Rahul, Bijan,
Rekha, who play minor but important roles in life of our protagonist.
Writing Style: 3/5
‘The Agony of Love’ is a good work. Somehow
this work seems filled of unnecessary description of womanhood and its
different stages. At those particular lines I felt like I was reading a biology
book or psychological book, discussing woman’s condition at menopause. A boy’s
knowledge on this issues is quite amazing but the intention behind discussing
these all things is nothing but lust. Apart from it novel presents us the
reality of life that sometimes overpowered elder sibling wishes to use their
younger sibling for their benefits. Little bit different from the typical type of love stories. It ,too has a rona dhona section yet it does not fill the reader with boredom. Villians are there but as the mysterious movies do, jo dikhta he wo hota nahi. Good work from a debut author. Wish to read
more good works from the author.
My overall rating for this work is
3/5.
