Three Shades of Green has been written taking into consideration different perspectives of human life.
The three stories ‘Sandy and Pearl’, ‘A Fine Line’ and ‘Peetam’ have different storylines about different protagonists set in different situations of human life.
Underlying each story is a message, which is conveyed in a subtle manner throughout the stories. Critical issues, like female foeticide and dowry, have been taken up in the first story very beautifully.
The second story talks about love, betrayal and a fine line between love and selfishness.
The third story ‘Peetam’ talks about the immortality of the human soul.
Three Shades of Green is a beautiful presentation of feminist literature interspersed with wonderful emotions of the human mind; the characters are so real, that you would often mistake them for real life people.
The challenges before two women, each confronted with a different problem, how a person in love crosses the fine line between love and selfishness and the invincibility of the human soul presented through use of simple language and a mature style makes all these stories worth reading.
