"Back in time" by Andaleeb Wajid. This book is published by Bloomsbury India in 2014 and has 162 pages. This is the second book of Tamanna trilogy. (I had posted a review of first book 'No time for goodbyes' last month).
Tamanna is back in past using a sepia photograph and meets Manoj in Madras. The camera which also doubles up as time machine is stolen. A cousin of ajji's husband, nicknamed 'dragon amma' by Manoj, is scheming to kick ajji and her daughters out of their house. Tamanna is in a life threatening road accident in 1983.
Can she go back to present? Will Manoj accompany her? Why does a sepia photograph cause her time travel? Does any one else know the secret of time travel?
Andaleeb has kept it simple and straight. Love story and time travel is a potent combination. Author has handled both deftly without compromising one for other or letting one overpower other.
If you have read first book, you can not resist reading this one and can't wait for the third one. The story moves on and readers are hooked. There are hilarious, dramatic and emotional situations in past and Tamanna responds to them with the experience of present.
This is a small book but it packs the punch. End of the book is again interesting and readers are sure to see another time travel in next book, but this time it will be to the future, not past.
A very good book. Must read if you have read the first one.
