'A Place Called Home' is Preeti Shenoy's 15th Book and I feel proud to have all her books in my Library. When I watched the teaser and read a few chapters, I knew this was going to be a book that was different from the rest. Both the front and back covers were intriguing and I just could not wait to read the book.
Alka, the main protagonist, is a young, brave, smart, and ambitious only daughter of Seema - a housemaid in a wealthy woman's house. The author has beautifully written this story to show the different phases of Alka's life from a young girl, to a teenager, a college student, a young adult, and finally a married woman. She has undergone so much in life but the best part of it all is that when she has settled down in life with a family, a home, and other luxuries that one gets while living away from the city, she never forgot her roots, how much her mother struggled to raise her and also her mother's friends who treated her more like family. Subbu, Krish, Manasi, Anandi, Nisha, Tulika, Gowramma, and Selvi are just a few of the characters in this endless novel. Some chapters were so gripping, that I did not want to stop reading. One feels so many emotions while reading this book. I could relate to Alka in a few ways. Another masterpiece by Preeti Shenoy. Do read it when you can. It will transport you to a different level.

The story is fabulous.The character of Alka who is a strong person yet becomes weak when it comes to disclosing her real identity has been written beautifully.Its so difficult to leave the book in the middle ..It's that engrossing and captivating.Surely need a sequel to it.Krish is another character that a reader wants to read more about...want Alka and Krish to be together but without them feeling any guilt.Luckily got a chance to meet Preeti mam when she was in Delhi for the grand launch of the book.❤️
