Does marriage truly fulfill a man? What to on the off chance that it is not working? Consider the possibility that the flash in the relationship is lost and you get pulled in to someone else. Madhuri Banerjee’s Forbidden Desires tries to answer some of these inquiries.

It is likewise about Kaajal who is unmarried and doesn’t wish to get hitched. Their stories keep running in parallel and meet at a crossroads towards the end.

Madhuri has concocted a splendid arrangement of characters. She weaves the Delhi kitty party scene exceptionally well in the novel. Each character is consistent with life. Consequently it is anything but difficult to identify with them. No miracles as you read the book, you get included in the characters, their lives and their connections. This is the place I feel Madhuri succeeds as an author.
Extramarital issues do exist. Madhuri tries to record the basic purpose behind them, without being long winded. She likewise gives a message implicitly - on the off chance that you are not glad in a relationship, it is ideal to leave it. She walks on the dubious spaces of additional conjugal issues, same sex connections, BDSM and live seeing someone effectively. How can it be that in an additional conjugal issue it is just the lady is to be faulted? She doubts.
There are couple of syntactic mistakes in the book. Page 127 "I know I seeming like mother." It ought to have been, I am seeming like mother. On page 135 the word hard is incorrectly spelled as shard in the accompanying line. " And when she got hitched, she had dove herself so shard into cherishing Gaurav." On page 222 Kavita is incorrectly spelled as Kavit in the accompanying line. "Kavit felt calmed and in torment in the meantime."
I wish these slip-ups were evaded. Be that as it may, I preferred the book. It doesn’t drag. It is diverting without a doubt.
