DADDY



My thoughts ponder over the life of my father, the hardships he must have faced, the love he must have given, the expectations he must have had from me first as a child when trying to walk then a kid trying to learn, then may be a student trying to crack the best of my future and still wishing for the best of my success. Inspite of all that I have lost, inspite of all the generation gap, the chasm that exists in our thoughts and feelngs, he has always tried to support me in the best way he can.

DADDY is one such novel, dunno how I happened to read this one, soon I was totally engrossed in it. The novel evolves the feelings of a father, as caring for his children, for the love of his life, for the best performances in his job. The person thrives to improve the life of his family in the midst of all that he suffers, all that he lapses. Rising with every fall, trying the best of his efforts, neglecting his own conforts for the sake of his children, his family, their future.

The moments he rise after every retrograde in his life, his every decision made eventually grows up to the best possible solution, The novel fully depicts the love, emotions, feelings, care, dreams, expectations. He never minds for when he gets the little or no time for himself to live upon, actually his life is something build of the others, of the one he loves the most. It even potrays what a father feels about his own father and his feelings when he most knowingly re-marries at the age 72. Daniel steel exresses 5 generations in a row.

Though a family drama, Daniel Steel describes it in a most beautifly way that makes us remain captivated till the last page.
