About the story:
The story whirls around protagonist Noor a young lady who marries Meekaal an investment banker, lives in Singapore. Noor was bound to this marriage after a tragedy that happened in her house. She abided her mother’s word and ended up in this loveless marriage.

What happens next? What was that tragedy that occurred in her house? What is that mirror all about? Will she sustain the marriage relationship? What’s the role of her friends in her life? Lies the suspense of the story.
About the book:
The title is so apt for this book as you have so many invisible concepts underlying within the tale. The plot of the story is entirely different where one cannot predict the nature of the story until you complete the book. Initial chapters were bit confusing but gradually the story took its pace.
Noor is trying to find something but its not clear of what she is trying to do. She never tries to cope up with her marriage life, yet constantly searches of something. Mixed feelings love, empathy, advise, responsibility etc., what not included? makes this story a pleasant one.
All those history details about Mughals, sprinkled in between the story was admirable. I always have an urge and interest of exploring Muslim culture and had a feast of enjoying those flavors in the story. The author spattered about the traditional touch of Tamilians, Chinese and Singaporeans that gave an added essence to the story.
The authors narrative skill is excellent, yet clarity is required at some places. Overall, it’s a good read. I would recommend this book to all readers who like to read a story with different context.
My rating is 🌟🌟🌟🌠for this vivid book.
