""Not everyone is meant to walk together, but true love always leads to the path of freedom and timeless bliss." 

Olivia, a traveler blog writer, left shaken when she returned back from her Europe trip. 

Olivia's mother, Meera claimed she lied all these years about the death of Olivia's father, Rahil. 

Dazed with all the new information Meera revealed, Olivia failed to distinguish if it was true or just an illusion of Meera's ill mind - as doctors indicated the possibility that a person with Alzheimer's might have hallucinations. 

To find out the truth was as crucial for Olivia as for Meera's treatment. 

DeAttached - Two tales at the same point in time unfolds the story of a woman who failed in her relations, happiness in marriage that last long, eternal freedom of a man who never did fly out of his cage, and a journey to live a life of purpose."  

                                                             My Review
DeAttached is a heartwarming story of a family, who got separated due to many reasons, first a daughter who travel across the sea and explore the parts of the world and nestled them into her articles, a loving and caring mother who suffered loss of losing her beloved husband and then she lost memory due to Alzheimer and a father, who never got sufficient time to be with them. Does the people from dead returns or remain alive in the pages of a diary. To find more you gotta get a copy of this book. 

Olivia, a travel blogger, who was having everything perfect in her life; a loving mother and a successful blog which makes her appreciate herself but then one day she finds herself in a situation from which she could neither move ahead nor she could accept more. Olivia lost her father when wasn’t born and then fear of losing the only person of her life make her feel more sick. Degrading health of her mother makes her more conscious until her mother handed her two diaries. Baffled and frightened to accept what lies for her in future she went ahead with the tales scribbled on those pages.

Deattached, the title itself suggest something which is not attached or let’s say some strings are still missing to make a perfect story to come alive. The title of the book goes really well with the book and I really do not want to reveal even a single ounce about the story. Coming to the book cover, which is simple yet elegant. Book cover does a lot for the story and it proved to be fruitful for this one also. I can’t find any flaw to reconsider the book cover.

The story is fast paced and once you starts reading you won’t be able to put it down, I myself completed the book in a single sitting and I’m in tears right now. Thrilling and really very beautifully presented book. The language of the book was so far good but there were few editing mistakes and they can be skipped.

I do not know whom to call my favorite character because every character were perfectly characterized and do justify their roles. Characters makes the book a crisp read and would live up to your expectations. Book really won’t confuse you because book will be dealing with past and present. There would be many portions which make readers go hooked to the seat while other would make you go through memory lane of various folds of human emotions.

I would really recommend this book if you want to sit and relax for some time, book is refreshing. I would rate 3.5/5 stars. Keep up the good work Ram Joshi Ji.
