I just finished listening to The Curious Secrets of Yesterday by Namrata Patel and here is my review.
Tulsi Gupta was raised by her mother and grandmother in their spice store. Raised to be a healer but Tulsi is restless and her heart is screaming that this isn't the life she wants.
After Tulsi finds a letter her grandmother wrote but never sent, has Tulsi realizing she doesn't know anything about her past and starts to dig. The more she learns, the more she is shell shocked.
The attractive neighbor next door is the kind of distraction she needs but it doesn't stop Tulsi from opening herself up to the possibilities she wants for herself and to heal the generational trauma that has her family never moving forward.
Firstly the narrator of the audiobook did a fantastic job of bringing this book to life. I thoroughly enjoyed the character voices she did.
The 3 generations of women in this family all have different personalities and passions but Tulsi is pushing back against her heritage and wants more from her life. I loved her grandma. She was awesome. Very stubborn but she doesn't miss a trick.
The family secrets are in abundance here so if you love family drama... This book has just what you need. It's very well written and the character development is satisfying. I need the connection and I found commonality with all 3 women. It must be so hard to push against the women that raised you to be your own person.
I am a huge fan of natural medicine and the knowledge within this book is spot on.
4.5 stars!
Wonderful read. Thank you to @netgalley and @brillancepublishing for my gifted copy
