Ek Thi Naina (en Hindi) - Rekha Joshi

If Naina's father had built a home for his family before passing away, perhaps this story would have been written very differently. The dream of having "one's own house" and "a roof over one's head" is a dream that people of every class in India see with open eyes.

The story begins with this very mistake made by Naina's father. From there, life races forward, touching upon many different aspects of human existence. Naina's reality reflects the story of nearly ninety percent of families in the world, yet Naina herself was different. She was a gentle, cultured, and well-mannered girl, but hatred, revenge, and the impulsiveness of youth can find their way out through even the smallest opening.

Naina loved her mother deeply. However, once she separated from her, she never returned to her mother again. This was Naina's unforgivable mistake. Her own arguments became a reflection of her weakness.

Perhaps it was the good deeds of Naina's parents that brought her the support of both God and society. That a girl filled with negative thoughts can still become dear to everyone is the remarkable strength and novelty of the protagonist of this book.

The narrative maintains a steady flow. The complexity of the language does not become an obstacle; rather, it becomes a means of understanding the emotions within the story. The author portrays Naina's personality with neutrality and respect. Naina is not someone who seeks pity, sympathy, or indulgence.
