Amma and I is a family drama written by Trishna Damodar. The story describes the bond shared between the mother-daughter duo- Maya and Kripa.The book is set in the 70’s in Kerala.

Speaking of the cover, it’s subtle and conveys a lot.

The plot is well constructed. The book is fast paced.The flow is smooth and the introduction of new topics goes with the flow.

The book talks about various themes- Love, Ambition,Family, Friendship, etc. in just a few pages. The language is very simple and easy to understand.

Coming to the characters,the protagonist’s Maya’s character is well developed and she turns out be a confident and brave woman.She was very ambitious and career oriented.The mother Kripa’s character was of self growth and realization which was brilliantly put into words.Also,Ashok’s character is very understanding and he is an ideal friend. Other characters were also well written.

I was very close to my mother and I am extremely close to my twin daughters. I feel that this book should be read by everyone.😊 This book was quite enjoyable and is a must read.
