Did the prologue capture your attention?

Post by Gerry Steen »

The prologue grabbed my attention. Rani's waking up after an explosion rendered her unconscious in the Mumbai hospital she worked in as a maternal and pediatric plastic surgeon was vividly described. Her confusion, panic, and desperation to find her friend and colleague, Jeannie, was riveting. I wanted to keep on reading.

The author's vivid depiction of the settings immediately drew me in. They effectively portrayed the pressures that some women still face, the weather, and the choice of clothing, all while creating a sense of tension right from the first scene.

Yes, I agree that the prologue caught my attention. However, it took a while for me to figure out how those characters fit into the narration of the book.
