It all started with a red sipper bottle…
Stubborn and introverted Benedict has been carrying around his unresolved issues for years and has little ambition in life. The merging of college campuses (and fate) crosses his path with cheerful and unnaturally kind Hazel. One conversation is all it takes for her to carve a special place in your heart. Ignoring popular theories and potential red flags, Hazel decides to find out more about the brooding basketball player.
Opposites do attract, but the important question is — can opposites hold onto each other?
Narrated from alternating points of view, Benedictions gives you a taste of love, loss, angst, vulnerability, persistence, and, above all, selflessness.
Our parents, friends, and partners — we take them for granted on so many occasions and often regret our choices when it’s too late to alter them. Shouldn’t we be cherishing them for as long as they’re around? They are, in the true sense of the term, our benedictions.
This is not simply a love story, but the journey of new adults growing up.
Vandana Rathi
Vandana was born in Kolkata, the City of Joy. She is a Chartered Accountant and a rank holder at the Intermediate level. Having grown up exchanging novels with her cousins, she finds bliss in fiction. Even as she commenced her professional career at an audit firm surrounded by numbers, her fascination with reading did not cease. “My sweet time off,” as she puts it. She felt the need to give her imagination a concrete shape and voice. That’s how Benedictions, her first novel, came into being.
Vandana lives with her husband and parents-in-law in Kolkata. She has a slight ‘problem’ of being ahead of time for everything. Her favorite word is ‘Karma.’
