How creeks speak, what are its voices? To know more, go through the novel Voices of the Silent Creeks.
Strenght of the Book
Novel roams in the backward areas of Rajasthan and throws out a real and bitter face of Indian rural people. Plot is nice and depicted well. Character justification is done well and maintained in the equal importanace throughout the story. Author has given a real view of rural places, names, acts and incidences give more real look to the story. Being women centric, this is very different book from the views of girl, i.e. how a girl survives in the adversities of life and shares her heart. Title selection is really admirable. Nice ending is given.
Weakness of the Book
Dialogue writing is weak. No literature is used in the book, which could give amazing look to the book. Book has many of ups and down in narration. At many of points, it turns weak and kind of boring too. Writer has made a failed attempt to polish few of issues (like Shanti's condition) to make more impressive. Writer has not worked more on the connection of Creeks and both sisters. Mano character could be described more.
Conclusion
While giving a nice story to read, this novel also gives a glance of Indian backward areas. A place and people which are being ignored for hundred of years and not been changed in the age of modernisation are described well. Cover page is amazing and perfectly suits to story. Moreover, title is really unique and impressive. With the sting of weak narration, book looses interest in middle but covers all the things to let readers have a story of happy and nice ending. Author Vikkas has put his great effort to give it original look. If you want to have it with a spice of literature and much of attractiveness, it will disppoint you. While would be the best entertainer as per story.
