Blurb:

Vaibhav Kulkarni has had few accomplishments worth boasting about in his modest life and career. Yet, his happy universe lies intact in the love and pride his ten-year-old daughter inspires in him. Nisha Kulkarni justifies every reason to be the favourite child of Pune’s premier school-be it her academic brilliance, her exceptional facility with music, or simply her unassuming charm. With his daughter showing promising signs of a stellar success story, Vaibhav has made peace with own unrequited dreams of the past. But when the girl mysteriously starts losing mojo and spirals into despair and seclusion, Vaibhav faces the toughest test of his life as single father - to reclaim his child’s trust and happiness. What distance will a middle-class man with limited means go to show his daughter the merit in believing in a dream?

Review:

A middle class father, a ten year old daughter and an amazing story about their relationship. What happens when life compels a single parent to juggle between duty and love for his child? My Father Is A Hero is one such story of a single father belonging to the middle class society who is torn between the struggles to make two ends meet and raise his daughter. The novel is a soft emotional story that revolves around the relationship of a father and his daughter. The story has been told beautifully in a simple language that intrigues the reader from the very beginning. Middle class is the most amusing strata of the society where parents are ready to go to any extent to a smile on their kids’ face yet they are bound by several limitations. This book deals with this dilemma beautifully.

The style of writing is crisp and intriguing that holds readers’ attention till the end. The book captures various emotions that a child goes through during his/her school years and also about the sacrifices of a father and the extent he can go to ensure happiness of his child and fulfil the child’s dreams.

This story is very nice and is told in a very beautiful manner. The emotional scenes are very touchy that bring tears to your eyes. The characters are also very believable that we come across daily.

Overall the book is a very nice, soft emotional tale of a father and a daughter that keeps you hooked till the end. One can very well relate with the situations described in the book which make it all the more real.

The cover of the book is also very apt. I loved the simple cover image which is absolutely in sync with the storyline.

Congratulations to the author for bringing up such a nice story amongst the crowd of romantic and thriller books available in the market. Loved it to the core of my heart.
