You came like hope - Jyoti Arora

After Lemon Girl and Dream’s sake comes You came like hope from Jyoti Arora, a novelist and blogger from Ghaziabad, India. She is a Post Graduate in English Literature and Applied Psychology. Jyoti has developed books for kids and abridged 24 famous English novels like Jane Eyre, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn etc.,

In you came like hope, Jyoti has tried to show a different side of domestic abuse, not the usual kind of women abused. The underlying plot of this seemingly simple love story is the tale of a married man, a supposedly good man, really very good enough to not understand the evil designs of a woman. This woman is a spoilt child knowing not what she really wants, and ends up marrying the good man without an iota of why. What happens is a grave mishap, not one actually, several, one after the other. The man doesn’t understand what to do, and actually reaches the maximum limits of his patience, and his reaction costs him and his family dearly.

Cut to the story of Peehu, the younger twin of Pakkhi. Though the twins are absolutely identical in their looks, they are chalk and cheese when it comes to their attitude in life. While Pakkhi is more smarter or more focused and chooses Uday, who completely adores and admires her, Peehu is full of remorse over an incident, that doesn’t sound that strong enough to make her insecure and lacking in confidence. Meanwhile an accident causes Pakkhi’s death and makes Peehu take her place without a choice, in fact it is a misunderstanding of the people around her.

The author explores Peehu's doubts and her confronting of the bitter truth and coming out of it. Meanwhile Adih, his issues, his niece, his family’s woes are brought out. In many ways the two complement each other. But well there are several things that throw spanners to spoil the possibility of a sweet and chocolaty love story between them.

Who or what are these wrenches and what happens to Peehu and Adi? Is there any hope for people who become victims to highhanded people who make others dance to their whims and fancies? To know more please grab your copy of you came like hope.

A fast paced quick read, this is a love story narrated in a simple style that can go a long way in giving you hope.
