Liar Liar Pants on Fire! There are only six Austens and you're down to your last Heyer. I'll tell you what happens in the end of 'The Reluctant Widow' if you don't behave.

But hey, we just want a masterpiece, so no pressure, alright?

Just read sec XI.....

Absolutely love the room upstairs. Its her private space yet with a diaphanous wall?!!!! Or am I reading too much into it.
Artists and painters need light. Lots of it. Unobstructed light. Or she is claustrophobic.
Hope that helps.

Am in a rush,this in a pretty involved section,I think....will reread later and will be back with further comments.

Thanks 😊

WOW...Armana!

As much as I would like to say what thought abourt the part is the less I can find any word to describe what you have written. It's absolutely beautiful and heartmelting, the way you portrayed Bani's character as well as Jai's and their relationship. 👏 👏 👏

I havent finished yet reading "The Reluctant Widow" but very close to it... But I can essure you that, I had a wonderful time reading your update and enjoyed every part of it.

Thank you soo much for taking your time to produce a mstermind piece of work like this. 😃

I cant wait to read the next chapter, and hope you update very soon,,,!

Armana darling,

Loved it as laways dear, so instead of using all the adjectives that I have already used for you I get straight to 👏

Aww.....so KD left her daughter a letter for her daughter on the bequest of their trust fund. A lovely letter and much much better then what the drama KD could ever write for sure.😉😆

Hummm.......cant wait for our Jai to put 2 and 2 together and realize that his Bani is his angel, the Sarswati, whose painting he owns , the woman who he met 7 years ago.😆

So you have read all the Austens and Georgette Heyer's. Love them a lot, and both are my favourite authors too.😃 Love the classic and am love rereading them too.😃

Till the next part dear.😉

Love

Krishna

That was a good one (in fact a very good one ) armana. Your Bani reminds me of Tolstoy's Anna Kerenina. Though they are very different characters in a very different setting, they still chose love beyond everything. The society might scorn her for her affair, but I truly believe that she deserves the love she is seeking.
I had these wonderful discussions with my brother (his all time fav book is Anna Kerenina). I was surprised when he argued that Anna was epitome of love and womanhood. But, as a woman, I could never relate to Anna. All said, she still committed adultery, which thankfully, ur Bani has not. I am actually surprised that there was no child here.

Unlike my previous post, here, I'm falling in love with ur Bani. Just a matter of time before JW does too.
Brilliant !!!!

I think the point such literature makes is not whether adultery is to be condoned or not, but whether those who pay the price think it worthwhile or not.
I would recommend: "The English Patient," by Michael Oondatjee or if you prefer something lighter, "The Bridges of Madison County," by Robert James Waller.
I am very glad to hear that you are beginning to like this Bani.

Love
Armana
p.s. all the above is the result of my personal point of view and opinion. It is not intended to hurt or offend any one's sensibilty. My apologies if i have inadvertently done so.

I'm an avid reader like you are. Slowed down a lil bit after my kid came into picture.

In fact I read both the books. Loved English Patient. Talking about "The Bridges of Madison County," I have my reservations with the protogonist's actions.

Coming back to ur ff, I agree. There is nothing wrong about a man and a woman having a realationsship. Here, since neither of them are married, thier case is much simpler. But, this JW is a cynical man who thinks "love is the grandest illusion of all". Bani should make him think otherwise.

She should make make him feel that ...

Love is intriguing …. Intangible, yet real.

Feel it ….

Sense it …. Thrill it.

Ciao
