A Rose From A Dream is the second book in the Lotus Saga by Kanchana Krishnan Ayyar,
Compared to the first book, I liked this one a lot better because the historical fiction aspect felt more realistic and how it tied into the story.
Now, I don't know a lot when it comes to history but from the little research I did because I had questions at the back of mind related to certain events it looks like the author has put in a lot of hard work into doing research and the way the story has been written makes you feel like your standing there and witnessing it with your own eyes.
If you're someone new to this genre, it will feel lengthy and overwhelming because of the saturation of information, but it's worth it.
Just like the first book there's a lot of things covered that are not acceptable in the present but there are topics that were prevalent during the time period and may cause a bit of uneasiness while reading, but it stays true to the timeline.
Overall, would definitely recommend the book and the series,
Rated/
Melina L, It was a good read and I look forward to reading more from the series, Loved the book. Each character was so well developed, Personal favorite was the Devadasi character!
The independence movement chapters were really good! Can tell the amount of research the author would have done to write them.
the love story was very heart warming, and were a page turner! The author brought back all the characters together in the end.
A very good read. A Rose from a Dream, the spellbinding sequel to When the Lotus Blooms, weaves through the turmoil in the lives of
diverse families, rich and poor across India, in the fading years of the British Raj.
The novel captures the ethos, sentiments, memories and character of a generation that shaped the future of a nation at a crucial time in its history.
