The Summer of Cool is Suchithra's , a well known singer ,actor, painter and a poet, first book. This book is about a 10 year old girl and her indirect search for her famous father .
Chitrangana Varma, is a pretty girl with innocent eyes and mischieves , live in a society called Swapnalok in down town Mumbai with her always furious mother who shouts on top of her voice. This little girl is ready with 'suitable' lies to escape from her neighbours and freinds' curious questions.
The little girl, like other children of her age, has simple dreams like growing her hair and she wants her mother to bake cakes etc etc. But in deep down her heart , she wants to know more about her father and desperately wants to meet him !!All through the book we could feel the child's pain in not having a peaceful and happy life like her friends'.
Though there is nothing great to talk about the book, the noveliest suceeded in portraining the present unstable family set up and the influence of such situation on the growing children. It is not of great quality, but the book certainly is not boring. Good work from a new comer !!
