Fractured Freedom: A Brother's Best Friend Second Chance Romance (Tarnished Empire)

Product Information

Shain Rose is an author of Contemporary Romance and New Adult novels. She fights for love one word a time. Those happily ever afters can be difficult to get to sometimes! A great read about the Judicial / jail system and tmhis view on present condition of Communism. Please note, Reading this book certainly doesn't make one a Communist. The book is poorly written both in form and substance. Filled with regret and self-pity, it is with repetitive lament that Ghandy spent 10 years in prison. As a prison memoir, this is of very low quality. A better one on prison conditions in India is "My years in an Indian Prison" by Mary Tyler. As a revolutionary memoir, probably the best is the "Notes from the Gallows" by Julius Fucik, the Czech socialist who wrote from a Nazi prison.

Kobad Ghandy book row: Chief of Maharashtra govt.'s language advisory panel, 4 members of literary board resign as protest". The Hindu. 14 December 2022. Archived from the original on 23 December 2022 . Retrieved 23 December 2022. Through out the book I came to know whole existing judicial system is untenable to solve pending cases. Even though political system is becoming uncouth,vile and uncivilised.Another aspect may be arrest of a top communist leader which was propagated as a Naxalite boss but again the crimes or the allegations were not proven. What really sealed the deal for me was that he lied to the FMC about various things but when she finally admits to the pregnancy and loss of the baby that she has basically told no one about he gets pissy with her? And she’s sitting there sobbing about this super emotional thing that she’s kept bottled up and has been dealing with all by herself and he starts talking about how he’s “always thinking about how to get people to submit” to him? Yeah… that’s totally the correct way to handle a situation like that… Here’s the thing: I hate books with twins. I didn’t know that there would be twins when I started reading this so I tried to push past it (I promise I really did). Like usual with twins in books, there’s secrets, competitive (ish) attitudes, good-twin/bad-twin complexes, and all around a lot of hurt on both sides. I could have moved on past all of this. What I couldn’t move past was the MMC’s relationship with the twin.

[1] [2] Critical reception [ edit ] English Version [ edit ] Later in the book they finally sleep together again, but AGAIN instead of communicating their feelings, they both assumed that the other just wanted to be friends and that the sex meant nothing, even though that wasn't true for either of them, so that was also super frustrating. On top of all of this, there were so many random plot wrenches thrown in...Dante was former military, but is also a member of the mob, but also is being contracted by the government who is working in conjunction with the mob on an undercover operation that Lilah's twin sister Izzy, a former drug addict, is also a part of? Dante also went on a date with Izzy after they broke up, but says she kissed him and he wasn't into it. It was so random, and just sort of served as a way to provide more drama. We find out way later in the book that Izzy is ALSO in love with Dante, which makes Lilah want to pursue a relationship with him even less, not wanting to break her sister's heart. I didnt connect to or like the characters and struggled to read it, eventually abandoning it at around 40%. I feel so bad because I rarely DNF, but this was hurting my brain and Im too tired to torture myself like this. him. “Don’t you ever say that being in the military is killing. That’s being a patriot. A war hero.”

I’m always nervous about starting a second chance romance.. will the hero be able to redeem himself? Is he worthy?

The books that are born out of experience always are worth a treasure. They show life and real things. Fractured Freedom by Kobad Ghandy is one such book. Kobad Ghandy was born into a well-off family. He did his schooling at the famous Doon School, and after completing his college education from St. Xavier College, Mumbai, he went to the UK to do his CA. Unfortunately, he was a victim of racism that was the most prevalent in the 1970s in Europe. He wanted to know the causes of racial discrimination and read extensively on India’s colonial legacy from the books by BC Dutt, Dadabhai Naoroji and others at the British Museum Library. He realised the socio-political issues that complemented colonial rule. We were supposed to be terrified of this man like he’s “in the mob” was in the military and like he’s killing a torturing people. Bruh he’s a glorified federal employee like should I be scared of my mailman. Like it just was so stupid it felt like the author wanted the guy to be “good” and scary which it didn’t work. Also the fmc sister was involved as well and that shit was so dumb. Laslty here are all the weird comment and things I just felt could’ve been cut from the story. When she isn't writing, she's spending the days with Doc G, Liv and Gray Gray, and their wild golden retriever. She and Doc G drink way too much coffee, eat way too much candy, and fight like they've been married for hmm how long has it been now? Caste or religion is not the principal contradiction in India; India is a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country. A new democratic revolution should be the focus of the revolutionary class. In the present day, a lot of the first 35% or so of the book was really sad because we get both POVs and can see that they are both clearly still in love with the other but not wanting to admit it since they are both hurt over the past. Instead of being honest with each other, they choose to try and prove how much they are over the other person by talking about the other people they’ve slept with, and in Lilah's case, the dates she was planning to go on. There was a lot of internal dialogue in Lilah's chapters about her miscarriage and subsequent depression, and about how she felt like she wasn't good enough for Dante, and about how her they couldn't make a baby together (essentially assuming that one miscarriage meant she'd never be able to have a healthy pregnancy with him), and honestly it all felt very over the top to me. I don't want to downplay the impact that a miscarriage can have on someone, but to be 18 years old and miscarry an unplanned pregnancy and then let it be still impacting your relationships with everyone around you more than 5 years later even though she's been in therapy all that time seemed unrealistic to me.Honest reflections".

Kobad Ghandy is a Parsi intellectual who worked tirelessly for the underprivileged of the society for four decades. Delilah is a sassy, smart, and smart woman. On the next journey of her life. But at the same time, struggling with past demons. Dirty, Delicious Dante is possessive, protective, and swoon-worthy. Throw in a twist where he's not just Army, he's a mobster too and her twin sister is working undercover with him. Cause that's what mobsters do. They work undercover stings to bring down drug operations. This book is a MESS.

Though there are many contradictions, such as landlord-landless labourer, factory owner-factory worker, money lender-borrower, male-female, inter-religious, inter-caste, rural-urban, agricultural-industrial, intra-feudal or intra-capitalist, and even imperialist-colonizer etc, one cannot get distracted by every oppression that one comes across. The revolutionary must focus on the principal contradiction and create or use the revolutionary atmosphere and bring about successful revolution. Dante was always going to be redeemable. He was the best of the best brother’s best friend. I’m obsessed with him and he’s book boyfriend of the year, hands down.

Kobad Ghandy's writing met with critical acclaim. Mahmood Farooqui of Hindustan Times wrote "The importance of this memoir and of being Kobad lies in shedding privilege, in adopting poverty and struggle, in choosing the right life, in suffering wrongs for it, and yet remaining steadfast.Fractured Freedomis a moral lesson for modern India, which both the Left and the Right would do well to heed". [3] Asim Ali of The Telegraph wrote "This is a sincere and lucid book, mercifully free of intellectual jargon or literary pretensions. It is also deeply moving at times, particularly when Ghandy writes about his wife. Whatever one makes of Ghandy's ideas, there are some important insights to be gleaned from his dramatic life".
