A Life Unfolds In The City - Ruth Zavitsanos

A splendid story about finding one's true identity and happiness, written of author Ruth G. Zavitsanos where she dramatically explorers a girl's coming to age story.
Martha, someone least favourite of her mother comes to terms with
shocking revelations about her birth circumstances and her heart when her mother dies. Now after the death of her hateful mother she is left to journey her way across life which is filled with new acquaintances, relatives, love, hatred of her younger sister and unknown possibilities just waiting around the corner for her. Will she be able to navigate her way safely to her own happiness or will she be lost in this long road of life , just like others?

The characters are vivid and very interesting with deep psychological explorations. The way Dilly and Henry is made to reflect and contemplate upon their past actions are very much thought provoking. Maybe sometimes we do need to cut loses and capture what really our hearts desire, otherwise it may be too late...for everything.
Live life without regrets. You only get one chance.

The plot is very intriguing with lots of family drama and incidents. We can also get the feel of victorian age while reading it. The descriptions are quite thorough while makes for a compact read without any fabrications .
I'll highly recommend this for everyone.

The two sets of lovers set side by side is beautifully portrayed by the author. A love story of the past juxtaposed with one from the present makes the novel a kaleidoscope of emotions rolled together in one delightful story. 
The storytelling capability of the author also makes this work a piece of delightful read.
A must have for someone planning to spent the weekend reading some moderately heavy stuff about love, life,coming to terms with one's identity, circumstances and realities.
