Review of Fresh Beginnings
Posted: 27 Oct 2023, 03:24
[Following is a volunteer review of "Fresh Beginnings" by Leela Dutt.]
Fresh Beginnings by Leela Dutt is a wonderful collection of short stories that deal with various themes of life, such as love, loss, change, identity, family, and time. Each story has its unique setting and character, and some of them are based on the author’s personal experiences in different countries and cultures.
The book also has amazing illustrations by Kate Attfield, who adds charm and beauty to the stories with vivid and expressive drawings. The illustrations complement the tone and mood of the stories and make the book more fun to read.
The book’s title reflects the main message of the stories: the idea that life is full of new chances and opportunities, even when things seem bleak or hard. The characters in the stories encounter various difficulties and conflicts, but they also find new ways to overcome and grow. They find new friends and partners, new interests and hobbies, new views and insights.
The stories have different moods and genres, such as comedy, drama, adventure, and historical fiction. Some of the stories are humorous and lighthearted, such as the one about a dog who adores his human family. Some of the stories are emotional and touching, such as the one about a daughter’s last moments with her father and her mixed feelings towards her mother. Some of the stories are thrilling and adventurous, such as about a family’s trip to France during a terrorist attack in London. Some of the stories are historical and cultural, such as the one about two young girls who travel to the 19th-century Copenhagen of Hans Christian Andersen.
The stories are well-written and engaging, with detailed descriptions and realistic dialogues. The author has a deep knowledge of human nature and emotions and creates realistic characters that I could connect with or empathize with. The stories also give me a glimpse into different cultures and places, such as Nigeria, Kenya, Germany, Japan, Wales, and India.
This book is one of my favorite books ever. This book made me feel various emotions and think about various things. It is a book that celebrates diversity and humanity and reminds me that life is full of surprises and opportunities. It is a book that I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys reading.
I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because it is a book that inspired me and touched me in many ways.
