Daughters Who Loved by Maitabi Banerjee

Maitabi Banerjee's "Daughters Who Loved" is a gripping story about love, betrayal, family secrets, and the dark consequences of defying social norms. This novel combines elements of romance, mystery, and thriller to deliver a gripping and empathetic narrative that keeps readers engaged from the very first page.

The story centres on twin sisters Mili and Julie Sharma, whose lives take unexpected turns as a result of love and treachery, and is set against the scenic background of Jabalpur. Julie is searching for closure when her first love, Anil, inexplicably disappears. As all is going on, Mili's romance with hacker Raza devolves into chaos after he is killed and she is charged with having ties to terrorists.

 Julie's unresolved romance with Anil Kothari leads her down a dark and unanticipated path where speaking the truth is much more painful than keeping it a secret. Mili, however, falls for Raza Naqvi—a romance that culminates in public shame and unimaginable allegations following his sudden death.

As the sisters deal with these life-altering circumstances, a shocking secret hidden in Julie's laptop comes to light, completely upending their entire world. It not only turns their world around but also makes readers wonder about the price of love, silence, and protection. 

Author Maitabi Banerjee has crafted a powerful, emotionally intense narrative that will stay with readers long after they have turned the final page. The sisters' bond gives the story more depth and makes the emotions seem real. 

It beautifully examines love, loss, and the agonising effects of keeping secrets. The characters are well-developed, with Julie and Mili serving as the main characters and tracing their distinct narratives. The writing is engaging, and the narrative is fast-paced. The story focuses on ideal parenting and building healthy relationships between parents and their kids.

Overall, "Daughters Who Loved" is a riveting read that won't let up until the very end. It is more than just a thriller; it is also a commentary on how women are silenced, how much it costs to defy society, and the tragic consequences of forbidden love.

It prompts profound enquiries like, "How far should one go for love?" Can truth truly set you free, or does it come at an unbearable cost? This book is a must-read if you enjoy thrilling family sagas filled with deceit, secrets, and heartbreaking choices. The book is full of unexpected turns, making it interesting to read.
