Despite Stolen Dreams - book review

Despite Stolen Dreams is a novel written by famous Indian author Anita Krishan. In this novel, she has made it amply clear that if hatred and violence are one truth in the world, love and peace are another one and rather better than the previous ones. Hers is the story of Wali Khan and his desire to keep the journey of life continued. She has also expressed views like this in many of the author interviews she has done. Wali does not get down on his knees in front of terrorism and he escapes from the bloodshed and violence to save himself and his family and to work towards a better future for them. For a larger part, he succeeds. However, the novelist has wonderfully brought back the force of fear in the novel and she has made it very interesting a read!
