Two Lives - Vikram Seth

Lovely novel. I really liked his style of writing. Simple, clear and concise. To the point. Vikram writes about his Uncle Shanthi (Indian) and Aunt Henny (German) respectively.

Aunty Henny's entire family is destroyed during Hitler's reign and how they deal with it. The book talks about perspectives from Uncle and Aunty's side, also with insight from the author. I really liked Aunt Henny's letters to her friends. The way she writes is really good.

All in all, it takes patience to complete the book since at the end it becomes a little too long. But it is truly a tale of two lives, intertwined in ways unknown. They say Love crosses all barriers and this is a proof of it. :)
