Once in Cape Town by Sanchit Grover

 Once in Cape Town by Sanchit Grover | Book Review

The captivating novel Once in Cape Town takes readers on a journey through relationships and love. It explores the depths of human emotions against the backdrop of the city's breathtaking scenery and dynamic culture. The characters learn things about themselves and their relationships with one another as they traverse their intersecting paths.

Veer, the story's protagonist, is a youthful, careless pilot whose life drastically changes after landing in Cape Town. A chance encounter between Zaira and a young girl leads to much more, and they quickly fall in love. However, reality sets in as their love blossoms, and they must overcome obstacles. Will the obstacles be overcome by their love?

The fine-grained detail that could have enhanced the character development is sometimes absent from the writing. The open-ended twist, however, leaves readers imagining countless possibilities, and the quotes at the beginning of the chapter add a thoughtful rhythm.

Once in Cape Town is more than just a romance; it's a slow-burning tragedy masquerading as a romantic vacation. Sanchit Grover tells a story that is profoundly human, poignant, and cinematic. Take this flight if you're searching for a book that begins like a postcard and ends like a gut punch. All I can hope for is that his next landing goes even more smoothly and is a little less tragic.
