I’ve came across this novel by ‘sumaira hameed’ in 2016 and i fell in love with this book the day i started reading it. Throughout the novel I kept thinking how lucky would I be if I had a friend like Vera. There was so much to learn from her. She had so much to give to the world and people around her. She became Amraha’s knight in shining armor whenever she got in trouble. She lend her support to her whenever she needed it. In return, Amraha sacrificed something great to honor their friendship. I have many problems with that “something” and the way Vera’s character handled in the third act with that unnecessary plotline, but overall she was brilliant. Yaaram has a diverse cast of characters. Each character has uniquely identifiable character trait. Sumaria Hameed deserves props for creating so many three dimensional and relatable characters that enhanced the experience of this simple story. She is such a smart writer. I have mad respect for her story telling abilities and writing skills. She reminded me a lot of Farhat Ishtiaq. Both of their writing styles are so familiar it’s uncanny. I have always cried like a baby whenever I’ve read Farhat Ishtiaq’s novels. I went through the exact same emotional roller coaster ride with Yaaram. It’s both amazing and scary the power writers can have on us Readers That’s what Yaaram is: a well crafted, well written, brilliantly executed, full of humor, full of sadness, full of life, and a thrilling story that delivers in all aspects of story telling. I LOVED this book. Have you read Yaaram? If so, share your thoughts down below.
