The Direction of the Wind by Mansi Shah
•••
Wow, that packed an emotional sucker punch to the heart.
This book was a tale of two lost women; mother and daughter searching for themselves and their purpose in life.
You have Nita, a woman who is used to following the rules, and who feel stifled by her arranged marriage and chosen life in India. She wants to pursue art, and so she leaves her husband and daughter at home and move to Paris. But Paris is not good for her, it ends up being her down fall.
Enter Sophie, Nita’s daughter – who has been told Nita died at a young age. Sophie found out that was a lie. Sophie ran to Europe to try and find her mother, and in sort of a déjà vu of her mother, find herself.
Both women are extremely tortured by things and go through very hard times. While there was no happy ending with this book, I loved the emotions the author portrayed. She did a really good job of showing grief and what it feels like when you’re lost and don’t know who you are. The author also did an amazing job tackling addiction.
The only reason I spoke, didn’t get five stars in my opinion was because the ending dragged a little bit
