MAHASHWETA - Sudha Murty

I bought this book after it was recommended by one of my friend. And after reading, I truly believe that this is the best work by Sudha Murty. 

The story revolves around a lady Anupama who is beautiful beyond words, while she is enacting in a Sanskrit play titled ‘Mahashweta’ she catches the fancy of the renowned and rich doctor Anand. Both of them get married and Anand has to leave for England for further studies. Anupama develops a case of leukoderma and she is shunned by all and even her in laws throw her out of her home. Even Anand doesn’t support her and leaves her to fend for herself. After a long fight to get back with Anand, Anupama looses all hopes and then gathers all her courage and moves to Mumbai and makes a good career for herself.

I specially liked the postscript, "being an author you sometime don’t realize how your stories can touch other people lives." 

So I would like to recommend this book to my dear friends to experience that magic.
