PapaMa's Portrait - Book review

 

PapaMa's PortraitPapaMa's Portrait by Snehal Amembal
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rather late in writing this review but the time is ripe and sweet. It’s about the beautiful book Papama’s Portrait by my daughter Snehal Amembal, a lovely tribute to my mother, who would have been 96 today, but God had other plans and she left us six months ago. Yet am sure she is happy wherever she is and keeping everyone around her happy too! That was her innate nature.
I celebrated her birthday by rereading the book and revisiting the wonderful moments that Snehal spent with her during her growing years imbibing values of being a great human being.
Reading the book has given me new insights into how complex yet simple a relationship between a grandmother and granddaughter can be.
The beautiful essays interspersed with lovely poetry makes it a book to be cherished by all, irrespective whether you have lived with a grandparent or not.
I would like to thank Snehal for reminding all those who care to read this book of how beautiful life is living with grandparents!
