Story:

Hi friends, as love travelling and most of the time travels, so while travelling a novel is a best companion, so I got the habit to read novels while in a journey! so oneday I picked the novel THAT LONG SILENCE - from the author shashi deshpande, while in a journey as I have heard the name of shashi deshpande a lot of time!


The novel is all about the the story of jaya, who is a housewife and have two children and use to write while in her free time! so the movie is all about the indian society where the women has to do a lot of sacrifice; firstly the novel the relationship of jaya and manohar( husband and wife) and how complex the relationship in middle class family has!


after jaya husband is asked to leave his job due to some allegations over him, jaya life changes and the differences between her husband and jaya started to arise frustration starts to develop in their relationship so the whole story revolves around jaya and her past experiences and her sacrifices . so the book has tried to depict the women of the indian society!


now I would say the topic might be good, but the content was boring, I slept multiple time while reading the novel in the journey as I found it so boring and found nothing interesting the novel and it became very hard for me to complete the novel!


I totally didnt liked the novel and it was boring, the topic was ok, but for someone like me who loves adventures and exciting stuffs, this novel made no mark instead gave some boring time while reading to me!


so in the last I would not be able to recommend the novel from my side, rest if you have that type of taste towards novels than you might go for it else its a big NO!


thank you
