Do you think love transcends boundaries?
Love Knows No Boundaries by Sujay Kantawala is the story
of Rithambara and Shaquille, a couple no one could have thought existed.
Separated across race, religion, and continents, they would have not met under
normal circumstances, but fate had different plans. Shaquille, son of a
Governor in Chad, and Rithambara, a swami in an Indian ashram cross paths in
Dubai in the unlikeliest of circumstances, and then love blossoms. But as all
love stories go, this is also not an easy ride. With Rithambara being part of
an Ashram will they be able to sustain their story?
The story is very well-crafted with the concept of a love that transcends social and physical boundaries being explored. Told in past tense, the storytelling is powerful and suffers from no plot holes as such. The language is simple and easy to understand, as well as suits the characters. The idea that explores an open relationship is quite rare, and Sujay has woven a powerful narrative around it. Being a narrative that is told by Rithambara and Shaquille alternately shows us 2 perspectives on the concept, and how things actually work out. The climax was quite powerful and gave an interesting message to the reader.
Coming to the characters, the book primarily focuses
on Rithambara and Shaquille and the
other characters come and go but do leave their mark on the plot. Shaquille as
a character impressed me with his grit and determination to achieve the things
he wants, despite the adversities that come in his way. Rithambara, on the
other hand, is a character that is made of nothing less than iron will. There are
multiple instances where we see her resolve being tested, yet she comes out
unscathed every time.
Overall, a great read on love that scores a 4.13/5 for me.

A swami in love is a fantastic character. When that love crosses oceans, well... should be a nice story.
