Book Review: When Arya Fell Through The Fault By Reenita Malhotra Hora

When Arya Fell Through The Fault

Author : Reenita Malhotra Hora 
Genre : Fiction
Publisher : Om Books International

Book’s Epigram :
When Arya Fell Through the Fault is
the magical, coming-of-age tale of Arya, a 12-year-old boy from San Francisco,
who is ridiculed by bullies. Anything to do with his ethnicity—food, traditions
or the fascinating mythological stories he has been raised with, has become the
building block of unpleasant school experiences.
In the wake of an accident that
confines his once vibrant mother to a hospital ward—kept alive by tubes and
machines—Arya clings to the only remnant of their bond: an old, battered copy
of the Ramayana, India’s ancient epic story of Rama’s battle against demons.
One night, Arya falls through a
fault in the earth into the Wild Woods, where Ravana—the demon king—strategizes
to destroy his Ramayana—the last copy left—and threatens to rewrite history
from his evil perspective. Will Arya be able to save the story of Rama, heal
his mother and return home to tackle the demons in his ordinary world?
My Critique:
The book is nicely written and to the point. The story has a flow that keeps
you with itself. The characterization is strong
and vital to the movement of the tale. It’s a perfect blend of reality, fiction
& mythical. The narration is carried out in a very effective manner and the
plot is very good. This story is of a 12 years old boy. Arya lives in San
Francisco. He faces lots of problems in school as he is an Indian. His troubles
& thoughts are reflected through each page with precise details. Author has
played beautifully with words and written an adventurous story-line on
struggle, culture, roots & teachings of Ramayana. A story so well connected
and reasoned. The book teaches us that everyone faces some or another problem
in life but one need to fight and win.
