It's all about an antique jade mirror.
The cover was the thing that attracted me to this book. I didn't read the blurb and straightway dived into the book. I didn't know what to expect from this book but 'Invisible Ties' didn't disappoint me.
The story is so different and unique. Nothing like I've ever read before. It's so beautifully written with a gripping storyline that the reader literally can't put the book down.
I loved everything about this book. let it be cover, plot or characters. This book is lovable. You just can't unlove it. It's intense, passionate and everything else.
'Invisible Ties' is a story of a young girl, Noor and her struggle of self-discovery. Noor spent most of her childhood accompanied by caretakers and household helpers. Noor has a secret friend and it's an antique jade mirror which she stole from her mother's collection.
Under the family pressure, she agrees to marry a man named Meekaal Kalim and the couple moves to Singapore. But as the time passes she realizes that her husband does not consider her a life partner but a mere servant. He does not have any feelings for her, no love, no passion. And she begins to question her self-worth. She begins questioning Meekaal's real intentions to marry her.
Noor is confused about her marriage. In her confusion, she meets her neighbor, a childless Chinese woman, Ella, and a handsome American, Jake, who has lost his job and has his own issues. Mingling with them gives Noor a new vision. She begins to take charge of her marriage. But where will her life take her? Will she succumb to her loveless marriage? Will she ever find the love she craves for?
This is a story of a girl finding herself, accepting herself and loving herself. This is a story of self-love and self-respect.
I totally recommend reading this one. It's just that good.
Hmmm this book is good
