The novel is amazing... Though I have many things to say, I will keep it simple for readers so that they can get a glimpse of what matters the most in the novel. So, to begin with, Legacy of the Lost Words is rich with symbols that deepen its themes. You will find a tree, the banyan tree, a sanctuary for Savitri and Dev, represents love’s endurance and the constraints of tradition. The diary, filled with fragmented memories, symbolizes the weight of silenced stories. The haveli, crumbling yet majestic, mirrors the decay of old societal norms. These symbols intertwine to create a narrative that is as much about love as it is about the struggle to break free from the past. A beautifully layered story for readers who appreciate depth and meaning. ]]>

LEGACY OF THE LOST WORDS by Ashwini Pratham
"A country as diverse as India has many unique qualities to offer... those interested, of course, can enjoy these aspects in many ways. For example, family history and some mysteries, some well-kept secrets... these things are always inviting our attention. Did you ever care to know what your grandfather might be doing in his college years? Or, the best, if he could have a beautiful beloved or even better, if your grandfather and grandmother had their cute love marriage with some stories? Ashwini Pratham's debut novel, Legacy of the Lost Words is founded on the premise of family history. This novel is a treasure trove for anyone interested in family histories. Aanya’s journey to uncover her grandmother’s past mirrors the work of a historian, piecing together fragments of memory and truth. It is a cute example of the importance of preserving and honouring family stories. The story is deeply moving. For those who believe in the power of legacy, this book is a poignant reminder that our ancestors� lives shape our own in ways we may never fully understand."

LEGACY OF THE LOST WORDS by Ashwini Pratham
"Legacy of the Lost Words is a love story, but not a fairy tale. Savitri and Dev’s romance is raw and real, marked by sacrifice and heartbreak. Aanya and Rohan’s relationship offers a more hopeful counterpoint, showing how love can heal and transform. The author's alignment might be with the fact that love is worth the pain—feels authentic and relatable. For readers who prefer love stories grounded in reality, this novel is a deeply satisfying read.

LEGACY OF THE LOST WORDS by Ashwini Pratham
"Savitri and Aanya are two of the most compelling female characters I’ve encountered. Savitri’s quiet strength and Aanya’s determination to uncover the truth are both inspiring and empowering. These two characters symbolise the resilience of women and the importance of reclaiming silenced voices! The premise that Ashwini creates is deeply moving. For readers who love stories about strong women, this book is a must-read. It’s a celebration of the enduring power of love and the courage to live authentically.
You will find the storyline embellished with mysteries, secrets, reconciliation, and a wonderful ending... enjoy reading the work!
