Passion and drama command this riveting tale
India, June 20 -- Author Sash Bischoff makes an unputdownable debut with her contemporary take on author F Scott Fitzgerald's book Tender Is The Night. The story follows an accomplished movie star Lila Crayne who decides to take therapy sessions to prepare for a new film role. The narrative takes some time to pick up pace and engage the reader, but once it does, there's no going back. However, for some Indian readers, the American set up of the story can be unfamiliar.
The exchanges between Lila and her therapist Jonah Gabriel are engaging, with layers of revelations hidden underneath. What makes these exchanges better is the format in which the story unfolds. The author alternates between Jonah's therapy notes on Lila and her life that's full of glamour, which is interesting and unique.
Sash weaves a twisted tale that's equal parts fun and entertaining - one whose true nature only unfolds once the reader dives in. The way each character carries themselves, along with the shifting atmosphere around them, adds a melodramatic flair that sparks the readers' imagination.
On a deeper level, the exploration of Lila's mind - especially her darkest and most private thoughts - leaves the reader both curious and unsettled. As Lila delves further into her new role, the boundaries between her real life and Jonah's begin to blur, revealing hidden secrets and entangling their lives, despite Jonah being in a happy relationship with someone else.
Truth be told, this story has no real highs or lows. Lila's riveting and mindful revenge unfolds with mounting drama, as the entertainment gradually coils around the reader.
