About the book:
The protagonist in the book ’Love Across The Borders” is a
Chinese Girl Called Jia who worked for Beijing Power, who were setting up an
Power Plant in Jharsugda, and an Indian Boy Called Jivan. Jivan works for Varun
Alumina.
This is a love story between Jia and Jivan who face lots of
problems before they are united in the end. The author has a very passionately
written the book and has very aptly described all the characters in the book.
The problems faced by Jia and Jivan, to express their feelings and the
repercussion faced by them are very touching. The book starts with a Stampede
and a hospital where the injured are treated and here the love story begins.
Jivan likes Jia and wants to marry her but there is
opposition in his family, his mother who wants him to marry a Bengali girl. Then
there is this India China relationship which also comes between them and they
are separated.
The Author has successfully tried to bring in everything to
make the book very interesting and has very aptly written about the war in the
sub continent, the meetings in Washington and the after effects of the
Washington meet. After lots of persuasion Jivan gets permission to visit China
to meet Jia but then his plane crashes and it seems all is lost. But, Somehow
Jivan survives and gets treated at a Beijing Hospital and is destined to meet
his love and does meet her in the hospital room.
A very creative writer Sudama Chandra Panigrahi has touched
upon a very sensitive issue and has done justice to the book. He has very
nicely shown the Indo Sino relationship and has tried his best to give a new
turn to the relationship.
The book is truly very engrossing and the way it has been
written shows the knowledge of the writer or the study he undertook to write
this book. The language is easy and writing well understandable though at time
it is a bit difficult to follow.
Submitted by a happy to be a maid and who is trying to get back to
studies once again after 5 years gap.
