                                                                My Review

Heart Quake is a debutant work by Ishita Deshmukh and she has done the tremendous job as a newbie author. The story is sets in the year 2001 when the massive and disastrous earthquake has drifted the city into the two parts and has changed the geography of the region.  

Sonal Patel, our protagonist is a medical intern who have come to the city for two reasons one to find her friend, who is somewhere between these miseries and second being a doctor it’s her duty to come forward with a helping hand. Always serving at decent hospitals this destruction was way more devastated and heart wrecking, howling’s from the survivor family, pool of blood and dead bodies around were all new for her but there was something which she was not aware of her meeting her lost love.

The best part about the book was the way author has described the causalities caused due to earthquake and how it has affected the lives of people of both survivor and those who have left their body. Reading those parts were so credibly written that I almost felt that I am witnessing right in front of me. Author has successfully weaves about the plight at the health centers at the Bhuj and how the team of doctors across the country has come to help the needy.  

But later a parallel story run where Sonal get to meet her past and it started effecting her life and sooner the things changed.

The story was fast paced and engaging and can be completed within two sittings. There was minor editing errors in book but can be skipped. The title and the cover was catchy. Overall the book is a good read.
