Title: Circle of Three
Author: Rohit Gore
Publisher: Grapevine India
Genre: Fiction
Circle of Three by Rohit Gore is a collection of three dark tales disheveled into a congenial page-turner.
A 13 year old school kid, Aryan is fighting with his loneliness. A 33 year old scriptwriter, Ria had suffered a tragic loss of her beloved ones and even the memories are not soothing. A 63 year old elapsed author, Rathod is leading towards the last step of life’s staircase with bitterness and guilt of his past. The common strand among these three characters is that they are unable to find a reason to live. But what if they find someone as damaged as they are? Can one incomplete person complete another? Or at least give and get what they need the most, hope. This book, thus, marks the fact that how an end of one thing could be a beginning of something new, making a circle.
I am really impressed with the story of Ria Marathe, it showcases writer’s caliber of characterization. I am unfamiliar with other works by the author, but this one is a sure treat. Even using the simplest language, author has succeeded to leave a long lasting effect in his writing. The story flow is predictable but not boring. The incidents are easily believable even with all the clichés, making the feel of the story grow behind your mind in a relatable manner. I love dark tales, may be because it is not the forte of every writer but author has done an enviable justice with the three protagonists and the readers. A must read for hard core drama lovers.
Rating: 4/5
