Review

•experiences make you, you in your life.
Look how far you have come.
Look how much you have learnt.
Oh, you must be a survivor.•

Poetry by Aishwaryabhatara
And Gretelsaldanha is a collection of 33 beautiful poems and musings, with a blend of various themes like love, self-love, anger, family, hope, heartbreak and random thoughts.

Reading this book is like an experience, it has things we never talk about, the chaos, we keep to ourselves. Each poem is unique, will make you pause and think of the times we have been through.

There’s a depth in the author’s words, a feeling of belongingness. The absorbing writing style of the author, with the perfect choice of words, will dwell the readers into a plethora of emotions.

I liked how beautifully they expressed the shades of emotions, making us fall in love with the book more and more. One could relate to the poems and situations well.

Poems like Scars to your beautiful, things we wish we were told, your mind is a terrifying place, are some of my favourite poems.

Written by the teens, this book has some of the deepest thoughts that we never tend to share. Loved the way they carefully ascended every topic.

Overall, it’s a beautiful interesting read that you will enjoy over a cup of tea in this chilly weather.
