BOOK REVIEW : 

💔 Every silent journey has a story. 

Some books and some stories remain in the core of the heart forever and leave a mark on our minds. " Lives Not Lived by Monika Bhatti " by Monika Bhatti is such a story that left a mark in my mind better to say shattered my heart. 


Now, this book addresses some unique social issues that are persistent in our civilization and have some significant impact overall as a society. Issues such as child marriage, domestic violence, physical assaults, etc. through the prism of two vulnerable female victim protagonists. 


This poignant story follows two main protagonists Haree and Naina, two women facing similar struggles, hoping to survive despite the odds. Haree, married off at 16, accepts her fate, living a life dictated by others. Naina, on the other hand, dreams of a life beyond restrictions, wanting only to live in her world of imagination. 

Yes, this is a fictional story but I don't think so. This is the harsh and dark reality of our so-called civilization. You should keep your heart very strong while reading this book. This book is written unfiltered way which is the best part of the book. The message is very clear in the dedication part of the book " To all the women who suffered in silence; To all the children who grew up in violence. " 


The language is lucid and the vocabulary used in this book is simple. The beginner has no problem while reading this book. Now coming to the writing style; it's fluid and as a reader, you will feel the emotions within it. 

Lastly, I would like to say the same things that I have shared in my initial impression of the book ' While reading this book, we should understand that we all are part of society, and it's our responsibility to make it more beautiful.'
